Getting Started with the Collections Execution App

Collections Management Execution app business overview

Celonis’ Collections Management Execution app is a purpose-built application that optimizes and automates the collections process using a combination of processes and customer data. The goal is to make every customer interaction more valuable and help businesses to achieve their targets.

Some of the key features available in the current Accounts Receivable (AR) Collection app are listed below. For more details, please refer to the AR Core App Features document.

Collections Management

Steering View: Provides full visibility into the current accounts receivable state with key metrics, graphs, execution gaps and data tables grouped into four categories:

  1. AR Due

  2. Day Sales Outstanding (DSO)

  3. Amount Collected

  4. Risky Accounts

Action View: Shows a filterable list of customers and a table showing the key information associated with each customer, such as Open AR, AR due, and Aging buckets. Customers with the highest priority are displayed first. The data available in this view can be exported as a .csv file if needed.

Customer Detail View: Allows the user to get full visibility of the customer account in terms of contact details, transactions, collection activities, collection scorecard, and tasks. Users can send an email, take notes, or log a call and these actions are shown in the collection activities.

Transaction Detail View: Gives more details about the invoice (transaction) such as billing items, balance, dispute, and promise to pay details. Users can take action to record new invoice issues or set a promise to pay and add notes.
