Collections Management

Reduce days sales outstanding (DSO), improve the prioritization of customer calls, and watch productivity rise with smarter, more dynamic, and more accurate collection management processes.

Collecting cash from customers is critical to the success and well-being of every business. It is vital that organizations optimize working capital and cashflow to operate effectively and focus on growth.

Collections Management makes this possible by helping organizations rapidly collect cash, reducing DSO, aged debt, and provisioning. With productivity gains of over 30%, teams have more time to focus on actions that drive results.

Measure Performance to Achieve Collection Success

Each collection strategy provisions for continual improvement to provide you and your teams the flexibility to adapt with ease and consistency.

Understand in real time what actions and collection strategies are working at each stage of the collection process and overall.

The ability to create multiple, dynamic collection strategies that work with risk data and team or task management, combined with the ability to change tasks easily, ensure that your collection teams are proactively responding and adapting to drive impactful results.

Unified Platform Drives Real-Time Results

Understand the status of actions that drive collections performance, and track changes in team capacity and customer attributes such as risk rating, credit insurance, or payment performance trend.

With Collections Management, your teams gain visibility into the status of collections by customer account and across the customer base on the sales ledger.

Priorities can be adjusted based on dynamic customer and team capacity data to ensure what matters gets done. And with automation and decision intelligence, AR professionals have more time to maximize their skills and expertise.

“Collections Management was a strategic contributor to reducing our aged debt. For the first time we had visibility over all events and could use all of the available data to efficiently drive credit control activity. This meant that resources were being allocated to the areas that needed attention.”

Mark Beddoe, Head of Financial Systems & Transactional Services
