About Dr. Squatch

Dr. Squatch was founded in 2013 after founder Jack Haldrup discovered that cold-process soap helped prevent his psoriasis from flaring up. What began in a garage gained significant traction around 2019, growing into a personal care brand with an expanding portfolio of soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, and other bathroom essentials.

As the company grew, so did its wholesale business. But the processes behind invoicing and collecting payments were not built to support that scale.

“We want to make Dr. Squatch the only brand someone needs in their bathroom, from soap and shampoo to toothpaste and everything in between,” said Sarah Green, Associate Director of Accounting at Dr. Squatch.

The challenge

A growing wholesale business held back by manual invoicing

As Dr. Squatch’s wholesale business expanded, its invoicing process remained largely manual. The sales team was responsible for sending invoices, which meant some customers did not receive them when expected.

When payments became overdue, the accounting team had to manage every follow-up manually. In some cases, collecting payment could take months. The process created more work for accounting and made it increasingly difficult to keep aging balances under control.

Key challenges

Sales representatives manually sending customer invoices
Customers occasionally not receiving their invoices
Payments taking months to collect
Accounting managing every reminder and follow-up manually
Manual payment application and reconciliation in NetSuite
Growing workload that could have required additional headcount
“As our wholesale business grew, our invoicing process was still very manual. Payments could take months to collect, and every follow-up had to be handled manually by our accounting team.”

The Solution

Automated invoicing , collections, and payment application

Dr. Squatch needed a system that could automate the entire accounts receivable process, from delivering an invoice to collecting the payment and applying it in NetSuite.

Paystand gave the accounting team a centralized, automated process that could scale with the wholesale business. Implementation took approximately one to two months, and the platform proved easy for Dr. Squatch’s internal team to use.

RESULTS

Hundreds of thousands of dollars collected without expanding the accounting team

In the two years since implementing Paystand, Dr. Squatch has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars through the platform.

Automated invoice delivery and reminders have helped the company clean up its aging balances, while automatic payment application in NetSuite has eliminated a significant amount of manual follow-up and reconciliation work.

Most importantly, Paystand has helped Dr. Squatch scale its wholesale operations without adding more people to manage AR. 

Key outcomes

Hundreds of thousands of dollars collected through Paystand in two years
Additional accounting hires likely avoided
Cleaner aging through consistent, automated follow-up
Payments automatically applied in NetSuite
Less manual invoicing, collection, and reconciliation work
More time available for complex accounts and strategic priorities
A payment experience that is easy for employees and customers to use
“Paystand has helped us scale without adding more headcount. If we hadn’t implemented it, we probably would have needed additional employees to manage the workload.”

The time savings showed up most clearly in reconciliation.

Paystand has allowed Dr. Squatch to grow its wholesale business without forcing its accounting team to grow at the same rate. Instead of spending its time sending invoices, chasing payments, and reconciling transactions, the team can focus on complex accounts and work that delivers greater value to the business.

 

That scalability will become even more important as Dr. Squatch expands its product portfolio and reaches new customers around the world. International growth is a major part of the company’s future — Dr. Squatch plans to build greater brand awareness in the UK and expand its wholesale and big-box retail presence across Canada and Europe.

“As Dr. Squatch adds more products, enters new markets, and reaches more customers around the world, having Paystand as our payments partner gives us the platform we need to keep scaling.”
