Challenge
When Kristin Holthus joined FloWater as VP of Finance, the billing process needed cleanup. Monthly invoices were not generating automatically from NetSuite, which meant payments could not be triggered and applied as intended. Customers with autopay or cards on file were not always being processed correctly, forcing the finance team to spend time fixing what should have run on its own. With 12,000 leased units in the field generating monthly payments, the volume made every inefficiency costly.
Solution
FloWater implemented Paystand inside NetSuite to automate invoice delivery, payment collection, and cash application. Customers receive invoices with an embedded payment link and can pay by credit card or ACH. Once a payment is submitted, Paystand syncs it back to NetSuite, applies it to the correct invoice, and closes it out. The result is a cleaner AR motion with less manual work and fewer opportunities for error.
Testimonials
"Our goal is to have billing and payment be the easiest part of the process so customers don’t have to think about it."

Challenges Faced by FloWater
- Monthly invoices were not generating automatically from NetSuite, breaking the payment trigger and application flow
- Customers with autopay or cards on file were not always processed correctly, requiring manual intervention from the finance team
- With 12,000 units generating recurring monthly invoices, any manual step in the AR process compounded across a high transaction volume
- Physical check payments required one to two hours of daily manual processing per check batch, including remittance matching, deposit creation, and NetSuite entry
- Month-end reconciliation required payment-level matching rather than batch-level reconciliation, adding time and creating room for error
