Different businesses have different struggles, but one of the challenges that has a direct impact on their revenue is clearing invoices and collecting account receivables. We know how much a business can lose to sales that remain unpaid for a long time. There are times when these invoices are never cleared, and this translates to lost revenue which can take its toll eventually, if not immediately. It is, thus, important that a businessman exhausts all legal means to be able to manage account receivables effectively, and this can be done with the use of account receivable software.
With this type of software, a businessman can easily keep track of invoices, the clients to whom they are issued, the last date of payment, and other information that is essential to the account. Without this software, processing of account receivables takes a lot of time. All information is entered manually and all updates are also done individually. With the software, the assigned staff can view all pending invoices and their statuses in just one click. Updates can also be made automatically and, instead of going through piles of paperwork, the employee can simply scan through a database and obtain the needed information instantly.
A very useful feature of this software is one that allows a user to send collection letters automatically to certain accounts depending on their age. For example, if an account is thirty days old, a friendly letter is automatically generated, and when the account grows older and no payment nor any attempt to contact the company has been made, a collection letter with a stronger tone may be automatically generated.
There are many other useful features of this software, but the most important of these is one that allows one to generate a report of all the information he needs to be able to assess the standing of all account receivables. There is also a great degree of freedom as to the type of report that can be generated depending on what the user wants to view. He can also create a general report, but he can customize the settings so that he can have access, for example, to all accounts receivables according to age, client and other qualifying factors. In other words, there is much to benefit from in this type of program, and the old, manual way of managing this aspect of a business becomes too time-consuming, inefficient and inconvenient.
