Ivefe helps specialist contractors understand why invoices, applications and retentions get stuck, and what to do next. We’re building the system. Right now, we’re learning from real experiences.
Tell us about your payment challengesFor specialist subcontractors, delayed payments aren’t rare — they’re the norm. And chasing them is manual, reactive and costly.
You send the application. Nothing comes back. You don’t know if it’s stuck, disputed or just lost.
Retention dates pass. Nobody chases. Money stays locked with the main contractor.
Wait? Chase harder? Escalate? Change the contact? Every delayed payment is a guessing game.
Spreadsheets, emails, phone calls. The founder becomes a full-time payment chaser.
If your business deals with B2B invoices, applications for payment, approvals or retentions, we want to hear from you.
Ivefe would connect to your existing invoicing and email workflow. It wouldn’t replace your accountant or your software. It fills the gap between sending an invoice and getting paid.
Flag invoices, applications and retentions that show early signs of delay — before the due date passes.
Surface the likely cause: missing document, wrong approver, disputed variation, retention not released, or payer history.
Get a clear suggestion: who to contact, when, and with what approach — based on what works for similar cases.
Over time, see which actions move payments faster for your clients and projects.
Before building anything, we’re speaking with electrical, plumbing, mechanical and specialist contractors to understand how payment workflows really break in practice. Your input directly shapes what we build.
