01 · The Everyday Problem

What Goes Wrong in an Ordinary Working Day

Credit managers and accounts heads struggle to prioritize delinquent customers, allowing overdue commercial debts to age past 90 days without systematic escalation notices.

02 · Why It Matters

The Impact on Your Business & Customers

Uncollected receivables tie up valuable working capital and increase bad debt write-offs. Systematic aging analysis and prompt tiered reminders accelerate debtor cash recoveries.

03 · The Solution

What This Tool Does & What Changes for You

Ingests your receivables ledger, classifies invoices by days past due into standard financial buckets, calculates late interest, scores collection urgency, and produces an actionable queue for recovery staff.

What Changes in Practice:

Finance teams stop sending generic blasts. Every debtor receives a context-aware escalation notice according to their exact aging delinquency tier.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool automatically send emails or contact customers directly?

No. It operates 100% locally and outputs a prioritized collection work queue with ready-to-copy email subject lines and body text. Your finance or collection team maintains full human control over actual customer outreach.

How is the collection priority score calculated?

The priority score balances capital exposure and delinquency duration using the formula: (Outstanding Balance * 0.4) + (Days Overdue * 50). Disputed invoices are flagged and assigned an investigation tag so collectors do not harass buyers before resolving claims.

Can I run historical aging audits for end-of-quarter financial statements?

Yes. You can supply an optional cutoff date via the --as-of-date YYYY-MM-DD flag to reconstruct aging schedules for past reporting periods.
