Our AR Portfolio Diagnostic is a focused, two-phase program that improves the integrity of your AR aging by resolving unapplied cash, aged receivables, uncollectable balances and master data clutter. Unlike traditional Order-to-Cash (O2C) initiatives that chase collections, we remediate the root causes of AR delays for lasting performance.
“We met all compliance requirements and deadlines, lowered our DSO and recovered over $33 million in uncollected receivables in 16 weeks”
—CFO, Industrial Manufacturer
It’s not just about faster collections.
It’s about cleaner, smarter AR.
Unapplied cash distorts your financial visibility and inflates reported AR
Aged receivables are neglected, deprioritized or written off late
Messy customer records lead to disputes, unnecessary rework and collection delays
Cash forecasting becomes unreliable
Our two-phased AR diagnostic and remediation program delivers fast impact plus sustainable solutions.
We worked with a global manufacturer operating in 50 countries to free up $200 million-$300 million in cash flow from its AR balances across its global footprint. We recovered more than $33 million of AR from customers over 120 days past due in the first 16 weeks of the initiative ($80 million in total); recovered $19 million in bad debt reserves by focusing on severely aged items; and developed a roadmap for sustainable improvements to be implemented over several months.
With the cash we helped them bring in, the initiative allowed the company to realize a return-on-investment of over 700%.
