Manage customer debt effectively to improve cashflow
The Credit Management Centre provides credit controllers and those involved in debt management with a centralised, easy-to-use tool which consolidates all of the information needed for effective credit control. Easy-to-understand, real-time graphs display your overall financial status so you can quickly see what is owed, who owes it and how much money has been promised by customers. This gives you all the information you need to improve cashflow, reduce bad debt and improve the overall financial position of your business.
The Debt Management feature in the Credit Management Centre lets you create up to nine levels of debtor correspondence, such as debt recovery letter templates, to chase late payments. At least 60% of SMEs experience late customer payments and if you’re one of them, the Debt Management function will help you get paid faster and get your cashflow back on track.
