What Accounts Receivable use cases does Celonis offer solutions for? What are their capabilities?

Celonis offers three separate, purpose-built Accounts Receivable apps:

  1. Collections Execution App: Serves as your team’s collections hub, providing team management functionalities, customized views across stakeholders, KPI tracking & analytics, intelligent customer prioritization and assessment of customer risks to supercharge your collections efforts.

    1. Data-driven customer prioritization of customers and balances, combining a wealth of factors including payment history, disputes and last customer contact to optimize collector actions through intelligent insights. Credit information, processed in the Credit Execution App, is included intelligently and in real time.

    2. Task streamlining as common manual steps such as dunning emails, dispute coding or credit approvals are simplified or automated to free up valuable collector time.

    3. Team management functionalities enable lean task assignment and tracking. Team leaders can create tasks within the app, assign actions to team members and coordinate customer ownership. Collectors can capture tactical updates in real time, which the app records within the ERP, and communicate the need for escalation.
