Dispute & Collections Accelerator

HighRadius Dispute & Collections Accelerator addresses challenges in resolving disputes and recovering invalid deductions by providing easy, real-time access to required data from various SAP modules and external sources, a cross-departmental collaboration platform and pre-configured workflows. The system assignes specific tasks to each user, standardizing and enforcing processes based on best practices, not individual habits. The solution includes out-of-the-box templates for processes such as short pays, trade deductions, pricing, returns and shortages. Managers can monitor performance in real time and manage bottlenecks proactively. The result is increased efficiency and productivity, a reduction in open deductions and write-offs, and improved DSO.
