It is also potentially the riskiest, especially if poorly managed. In fact, today, <strong>one in four business failures<\/strong> is due to <strong>unpaid receivables<\/strong>. <strong>New digitalization technologies<\/strong> offer tremendous leverage for freeing up working capital and reducing risk. They will strongly challenge traditional, repetitive and manual methods of <strong>managing accounts receivable<\/strong>, by providing modern uses that are perfectly in tune with the <strong>challenges of business dynamism for companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Using artificial intelligence to improve customer risk management<\/h2>\n<p>Artificial intelligence combines the power of <strong>algorithms<\/strong>, <strong>Machine Learning<\/strong> and <strong>Big Data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"\/en\/articles\/software-collection-best-solutions\/\"><strong>debt collection software<\/strong><\/a>, for example, artificial intelligence makes it possible to use <strong>internal and external data<\/strong> to <strong>automate <a href=\"\/en\/articles\/customer-risk\/\">customer risk measurements<\/a><\/strong>. This enables <strong>credit managers<\/strong> to adapt the levels of outstandings granted to customers, or even <a href=\"\/en\/articles\/debt-collection\/\"><strong>debt collection<\/strong><\/a> scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>These software packages can also be equipped with <strong>alert functions<\/strong> to ensure that they are always on the lookout for <strong>potential risks of non-payment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Predict when your bill will be paid thanks to artificial intelligence<\/h2>\n<p>Some collection software packages also incorporate <strong>machine learning<\/strong> technologies which, coupled with a unique database combining <strong><a href=\"\/en\/articles\/customer-reminder\/\">dunning<\/a> and customer payment data<\/strong>, will enable you to predict your customers\u2019 payment times before they pay your invoice. This enables you to <strong>anticipate<\/strong> and implement proactive <strong>risk management<\/strong> and <strong>collection measures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By anticipating the behavior of your defaulters, you can take <strong>appropriate action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, you can <strong>estimate your future collections<\/strong> and <strong>cash flow forecasts<\/strong>. So you\u2019re much <strong>closer to reality<\/strong> than if you were to rely solely on your <strong>customer payment schedule<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Machine Learning boosts lettering processes<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/articles\/accounting-lettering\/\">Lettering<\/a> also contributes to more <strong>efficient dunning<\/strong>. \u201cBy <strong>automating<\/strong> this process, accounting teams are able to <strong>follow up only those customers who have not paid their invoices<\/strong>, thus increasing efficiency\u201d, explains Val\u00e9rie Konarski, Director of Financial Processes at <strong>DIMO Software<\/strong>. As soon as the lettering module embeds <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong>, and in particular <strong>Machine Learning<\/strong>, then it is capable of having the same expertise as man through its <strong>knowledge of the customer<\/strong> and in particular his <strong>payment habits<\/strong>. Using these programs, it automates important tasks that significantly increase the lettering rate. This daily companion facilitates the work of accountants, guiding them, for example, towards the <strong>most appropriate lettering proposal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn less than a month, thanks to CashOnTime\u2019s self-learning engine, <strong>our company\u2019s lettering rate jumped to 90%<\/strong>\u201c, says Bertrand Marat, IT Manager for DUPONT Restauration\u2019s Accounting, Finance and HR departments.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>Laurence Contion<\/strong>, Accounting Manager at <strong>Securitas<\/strong>, who also uses CashOnTime, \u201cthe major benefit is that by 8:30 in the morning, the customer accounts are up to date for three quarters of the transfers!<\/p>\n<p>In addition to freeing up working time and automating manual, repetitive tasks, <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong> enables finance departments to make the right decisions more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more companies can testify to the benefits to their liquidity of intelligently automating their Order to Cash process.
