Detroit is home to over 55,000 registered businesses and is the undisputed global capital of automotive manufacturing. Whether you run a Tier 1 automotive supplier in Auburn Hills, a logistics company serving the Big Three, a manufacturer in the Metro Detroit corridor, or a tech company in Detroit’s emerging innovation district, unpaid invoices drain your cash flow. AgentCollect deploys AI agents that call, email, and text your debtors — starting the same day you upload your file.
Detroit businesses face unique collection challenges: long automotive supply chain payment cycles (Net 60–Net 90 is standard), high-value manufacturing contracts, and complex inter-company billing across OEMs and supplier tiers.
No office in Detroit needed. No human collectors. AgentCollect is fully remote, fully automated, and starts working the same day.
Drop a spreadsheet with debtor names, amounts, and contact info. CSV, Excel, or connect via API.
Within hours, your AI agent begins calling, emailing, and texting debtors across Detroit. Calls go out from a local 313 or 248 number so debtors pick up.
The AI handles objections, offers payment plans, and processes disputes. If a debtor agrees to pay, they receive a secure payment link instantly.
Funds hit your account via Stripe. You only pay AgentCollect when we successfully recover — no retainer, no monthly fees.

Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers to Ford, GM, and Stellantis dealing with Net 60–90 standard terms, EDI billing complexity, and supplier payment disputes across the global automotive supply chain.
Machine shops, stamping companies, tooling makers, and contract manufacturers across the Metro Detroit corridor with high-value job orders and chronic slow-pay customers.
Trucking companies, third-party logistics providers, and freight brokers serving automotive plants and distribution centers in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana with 90-day carrier payment cycles.
Detroit’s emerging mobility tech and software sector — AV companies, connected vehicle vendors, and enterprise SaaS providers — serving large OEM clients with slow enterprise procurement cycles.
Engineering consultancies, design firms, and staffing agencies serving the automotive industry with project-based billing and retainer disputes on multi-year contracts.
Contractors and facilities management companies serving automotive plants, warehouses, and commercial real estate across the Metro Detroit area with retainage holdbacks and progress payment disputes.

Trusted by Fortune 500 companies including Microsoft and Dell, AgentCollect (founded in 2020) delivers results that Detroit collection agencies cannot match.
1 AI agent per account vs 1 human handling 250+ accounts. Detroit agencies juggle hundreds of accounts per collector. An AI agent dedicates itself entirely to each account, researching your debtor before making a single call. The result: ~50% recovery in 20 days versus 20–30% in 6 months for Detroit agencies.
Intelligence before contact. The AI runs Contact Finder: FBI-level profiling from a single email address. It knows who the AP controller is at a Tier 1 supplier or a GM procurement division. Attorney mode achieves 70% email open rates compared to roughly 20% for standard collection letters.
"Push too hard, they fight back. Push too soft, they ghost you." Traditional Detroit agencies do 2 emails + 1 call, then stop. AI agents calibrate pressure dynamically across a 12-month mandate with capacity of up to 85,000 recoveries per day.
90% of disputes resolved instantly. The AI accesses your records and resolves disputes on the spot. Direct payment, same day. Debtors pay you directly. Zero compliance incidents across all Michigan-specific regulations.
