I am struggling to keep on top of who's paid and who hasn't. Should be easy I know and it would be if people paid relatively quickly and quoted the blinking invoice number on the invoice.
What system/process do you guys who have a big round and several employees use? I want to get the process right before it drives me mad.
I use George, have one employee who is about to go out in another van so the problem is only going to get worse unless I sort it quick.
Thinking about getting everyone onto direct debit/standing order but I know there will be a fair percentage who won't do it.
Cheers...

George works fine for us. Mistakes comes out of cleaners pockets

my slip says along lines of "so we know its you who has paid please use 1st line of address as a reference"

however I have 1 customer who uses the 1st line of my address as a reference  ... fortunately their name is German and very long.

We use the number reference that George gives each customer.
It makes it really simple.

<door number><postcode> as reference OR <first few letters of house name><postcode> for BACS payments.

It can't be that the OP doesn't know who's paid surely?

They pay online = first line of address

They send a cheque = they inc slip

They pay on the day = they pay on the day.
