Bectran Accounts Receivable and Collections Management Capabilities:

• Pre-Collections Management. The Pre-Collections Management solution helps companies to significantly cut down on the cost of collections by engaging their customers in the early stages of the billing and payment cycle, and thus pre-empting payment-hindering issues. This solution offers companies a set of preferences for automating early identification of potential issues with current invoices and providing options for resolving those issues before the invoices are past due for payment.
• Invoicing, Billing & Payments. This is a Self-Service online portal that empowers companies’ customers to manage their invoices, resolve billing and payment disputes, provide documentation and schedule electronic payments of their invoices. This solution is a valuable extension of the Accounts Payable department and helps companies and their customers lower transaction processing costs and improve customer retention.
• Flexible Payment Plans Structuring and Execution. A set of tools that helps companies structure and execute flexible and mutually beneficial payment plans with their customers. A mutually beneficial payment plan helps companies lower the cost of defaults, improve cashflows and achieve better customer retention.
• Accounts Receivable Disputes/Issues Management. This solution helps companies identify and resolve issues that could delay payments from their customers. Be it pricing, product, shipping or process issues, companies are able to identify, capture and resolve these issues in a transparent, timely and efficient manner.
• Portfolio Organization & Analytics. This enables companies to organize and analyze their Accounts Receivable by several risk metrics. The risk metrics provide valuable insight into credit performance at different levels of aggregation and thus create an effective platform for quicker responses to changing market conditions.
