The team gets back about 23 hours of work a month, or 3 working days, and the company €9,463 a year. We count after the time a person spends checking and after the model cost.
200 × 8 min = 26.7 h × €34.90 = €931 a month. With the system, a person checks the output in 15% of the old time (€140) and the model costs €3. That leaves €143. The saving is €788 a month, so €3,000 pays back in 3.8 months.
Assumptions: 8 minutes to explain the arrears on a flat and checking in 15% of the old time are our assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Model cost: 0.015652 USD per reminder draft with a separate tone check, measured in our receivables system, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026. The payback counts saved time only. A reminder that goes out on time also recovers invoices that would otherwise go to an external agency or be written off, and we count that on your receivables during the review.

It takes the age of the debt, the contact history and disputes into account, and a second check reviews the tone of each message. The system has no sending tool, so nothing goes out without a person. A draft with its check cost about €0.014 of model work. A demonstrator on test data.

Questions
How much does arrears automation for a property manager cost?
From €3,000 net, paid once. After the 5-day test the build takes 2 to 6 weeks. You get a fixed price before the contract: 50% on signing and 50% after acceptance on your own flats.
Does the system send reminders on its own?
No. The system prepares a draft, and an employee approves it and sends it from their own inbox. Disputes and further steps stay with the company.
Does the system change the charges?
No. Your owners' association billing program calculates the charges. The system shows the gap and the message it concerns.
When does it not pay off?
Below 70 cases a month the payback takes more than a year. Then it is better to start with ChatGPT or Claude for the office, from €1,150 net.
What do we need to prepare?
An export of flat balances and payments, 20 to 100 cases with residents' correspondence and a list of the people allowed to explain the billing.
