PAIR Finance x sevdesk

sevdesk is one of the leading cloud solutions for invoicing and accounting and supports over 150,000 customers – from sole traders to mid-sized businesses – in managing their administrative tasks simply, digitally, and efficiently. With around 230 employees, the company has grown from a start-up into a formidable player in the German SME market and reached a significant milestone in 2025 with a successful exit.

Since 2022, PAIR Finance has been supporting sevdesk as a digital debt collection partner, helping to shape its debt collection in a tailored and scalable way in line with business growth. The partnership is built on modern, API-based integration and shared values: flexibility, a passion for innovation, and an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction and retention.
Challenge.
Solution.
Ergebnis.

Uncharted territory: sevdesk had not previously implemented an efficient debt collection process – particularly due to the wide variety of customer segments, numerous payment methods, and in some cases high-value claims.

Scalability: As sevdesk grew, all downstream processes – particularly dunning and debt collection – had to scale flexibly and adapt dynamically to new volumes and requirements.

Customer focus: The goal was a progressive yet customer-friendly recovery process that largely avoids legal escalation, focusing instead on dialogue and customer retention.

PAIR Finance integrated its AI-based debt collection platform seamlessly into sevdesk’s system landscape via a direct API connection. This enables: real-time transfer and feedback of claims, individually configurable communication measures, and a personalised, consistent customer experience across all customer segments.

Thanks to a digital approach and machine learning, the tone, channel, and timing of outreach are optimally tailored to sevdesk’s highly diverse target groups – whether start-ups, established SMEs, or freelancers. This enables recovery rates and processes for open claims to be continuously optimised.

With PAIR Finance, sevdesk has established a digital debt collection operation that scales flexibly with its rapid business growth and meets all the requirements of modern, growing businesses. Processes have been continuously professionalised: legacy cases and new customers alike are handled efficiently, individually, and with a strong service orientation. sevdesk is particularly proud that three in four customers rate the PAIR Finance service as “satisfied” or “very satisfied”.

PAIR Finance has also made a lasting contribution to the ongoing improvement of data quality and to the optimisation of company-wide processes. For sevdesk, PAIR Finance is far more than just a debt collection partner: together, they have created innovative solutions that retain customers, drive growth, and successfully digitalise processes.

“PAIR Finance is so much more than just a debt collection partner for us – they are a true growth partner who understands our processes, continually optimises them, and always keeps the satisfaction of our customers front of mind. The flexible solutions and collaborative exchange have helped us take our debt collection to a whole new level whilst maintaining our focus on customer closeness and scalability.”
