Top Challenges

  • Extreme System Fragmentation: The company managed a multi-billion-dollar receivables portfolio that was fragmented across more than 150 different ERP systems, creating data silos.
  • Low Collector Productivity: Due to manual processes and administrative overhead, collector productivity was capped at approximately 20 calls and 10-15 emails per day.
  • Lack of a Risk-Based Strategy: Collections were prioritized based on invoice balance rather than payment behavior or risk, and long-tail accounts were frequently overlooked.
  • Delayed Financial Visibility: Payment matching and aging reports lagged by as much as seven days, which prevented leadership from having accurate visibility into the company’s true past-due exposure.
  • Manual and Inefficient Processes: Collections were manual and fragmented, with analysts pulling aging reports from siloed ERPs and tracking all activity in spreadsheets without standardized workflows.
