Optimise your DSO and get paid on time with CashOnTime Collection
All sales on credit come with a potentially high risk for your company’s income (due to unpaid invoices) and liquidity (due to late payments). CashOnTime Collection software is the ideal solution to protect you against financial risks (insolvency and non-payment) and to optimise your daily sales outstanding (DSO) while helping develop lasting customer relationships.
Intelligently structure your multi-channel reminder processes (letters, emails, SMS) using all different cash-flow criteria, such as the payer behaviour of your customers and available solvency indexes.
CashOnTime Collection takes into account your alert policy across all risk factors for cash-flow issues, keeping you informed in real time of promises not kept, of deadlines not met in handling litigation, when the risk class of a customer changes, or when a credit limit is reached.
Within a single interface, this invoice collection software centralises and gathers your customer data (sums outstanding due or not due, agreed payment deadlines, payer quality, internal scoring, etc.), with economic and financial information on partners.
The software’s workflow enables collaborative examination of all credit requests, providing responsiveness and standardisation in review processes.
The calculation of customer provisions saves you enourmous amount of time in closing operations.
Developed natively for the international market, CashOnTime Collection is a multilingual invoice collection program that allows you to create and send your invoice reminders in almost any language.
Accelerate dispute management with peace of mind
All companies put ‘customer satisfaction’ at the top of their statements of values. Companies that manage to turn that promise into reality can see a direct, positive correlation between their quality of customer service and company financial performance.
The ‘zero defects’ principle has also become standard at companies, and yet, disputes still arise with customers. They are an anomaly, a real non-conformity of the quality expected by the customer.
The immediate effect is decreased customer satisfaction, resulting in:
- a damaged image for your company,
- extra repair costs,
- additional costs while the dispute remains unsettled.
With CashOnTime Collection, the dispute management process is structured, standardised, and traceable. All disputes are managed much faster an much more efficiently, and you are immediately informed of their conclusion.
Become more efficient
CashOnTime Collection saves you time, thus helping reduce operating costs and increase your employees’ available time for creating actual value for your business.
Leverage automation
According to a study from Deloitte, 56% of tasks related to financial activities could be automated.
Besides freeing your employees from annoying tasks, automation provides you with real-time enhanced visibility of your customer processes, KPIs, and collections.
Improve collaboration
Convincing others of the importance of cash flow is your priority.
By combining all data and processes relating to customer financial relations within a single collections program, you greatly contribute to the adoption of a cash culture.
Achieve significant savings
Payment terms and late payments affect companies’ working capital requirements (WCR) and carry a risk of non-payment that, when it occurs, is very costly.
The quick collection of payments significantly reduces the amount of your cash tied up with customers, thus increasing your competitiveness and helping reduce the risk of default.
