Reelt eksempel

A UK-based construction materials supplier with £8m turnover was struggling with an average DSO of 52 days. They employed one full-time AR Clerk. By implementing Chaser integrated with Xero, they automated 90% of their follow-ups. Within four months, their DSO dropped to 34 days. They didn't fire the clerk; instead, they moved them into a business development role where they could actually generate revenue rather than just chasing it. The software cost them £250/month—less than 10% of the clerk's monthly salary.

Pennys vurdering

Accounts Receivable is one of the most 'automatable' departments in any business. Most AR Clerks spend 70% of their time acting as a human alarm clock—nagging people to pay bills they already know they owe. AI doesn't get awkward, it doesn't forget to follow up, and it doesn't take a sick day when a large batch of invoices is due. Tools like Chaser or Upflow can handle the entire 'chasing' cycle with a level of persistence that would burn out a human employee. However, don't mistake automation for a total 'set and forget' solution. You still need a human to step in when a customer says 'I didn't pay because the goods were damaged.' AI is terrible at nuance, but it's world-class at process. Transition your AR Clerk from a data-entry and nagging role into a 'Credit Controller' who only handles the exceptions. You'll see your Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) drop significantly because the AI is relentless.

Ofte stilte spørsmål

Can AI handle complex multi-entity billing?+
Yes. Enterprise-grade tools like HighRadius are designed specifically for complex structures, automatically routing payments to the correct subsidiary and reconciling across multiple bank accounts and ERP systems.
Will my customers feel 'spammed' by AI collectors?+
Not if you set it up correctly. Modern AR tools allow you to customise the tone, frequency, and sender name of every email. You can make an automated reminder look exactly like a personal note from your finance manager.
How does AI handle partial payments?+
Most AI tools use 'probabilistic matching' to suggest which invoices a partial payment might cover based on the amount and history. A human usually needs to give a final 'click to approve' for partial payments to ensure accuracy.
Is it secure to let AI access my bank feed?+
Yes, provided you use reputable tools. These platforms use read-only API access (via services like Plaid or Open Banking) to view transactions for reconciliation purposes. They cannot move money out of your accounts.
