Spanish software is selling into the US. Collections cannot stay six time zones behind.
Latka tracks roughly 1,200 Spanish SaaS companies—more than the Netherlands, more than Singapore—producing $6.6 billion in revenue across vertical SaaS, travel tech, HR platforms, and marketplace infrastructure. US customers are a growth market for some of them.
And the growing pain is the same one every European software market hits: the US customer stops paying, and the invoice sits in a different language, a different currency, and a different time zone.
The two gaps
The time gap. A Madrid finance team reaching a US debtor is working six to nine hours behind, and the "I'll follow up tomorrow" cycle stretches into a week, then a month, while the debtor learns the invoice doesn't escalate.
The language gap. Your contract may be in Spanish or English, but the demand still has to identify the liable entity, the amount due, and the deadline clearly. A bilingual negotiator also helps when the debtor's decision-makers or parent company work in Spanish—the language barrier stops being an excuse on the first call.
What we do for Spanish software companies
- US-hours, US-culture collection. The debtor gets calls they can answer, from a collector who works their system—not a Madrid schedule that never overlaps.
- Bilingual negotiators. English and Spanish, whichever the debtor responds to. The language barrier stops being an excuse on the first call.
- Entity tracing. Spanish parent, US subsidiary, reseller, or the US arm of a marketplace—we find the liable entity before we make the demand.
- Same contingency worldwide. 25% under 12 months, 33% over, 40% on second placements—no recovery, no fee.
The short version
Your software crossed the Atlantic. Your collections should too. Our international desk runs the US side while your team keeps building—one point of contact, same contingency as domestic, and a US debtor who discovers that the Spanish vendor's invoice has an American follow-through.
