AI-verktyg som hanterar denna roll
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 syn
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.
