When Your Accounts Receivable Balance is Too High, For Too Long

Burwood’s collections team had been struggling for quite some time with an ineffective collections management process and a high A/R balance. They were spending their time chasing outstanding invoices manually, and knew that they must find a way to improve communication with customers in order to improve the process and ultimately improve their DSO.

Changing the Collections Game With Automation

Burwood’s CFO, Rachel Gibson, made the decision to automate their collections process with Gaviti’s automated A/R collections solution when she understood that she could eliminate manual collections tasks which were weighing down her team and not yielding great results on the cash flow front.

The integration process was extremely fast and the Burwood team has been up and running smoothly since the beginning of 2020.

In less than 6 months, Burwood Group was able to reduce its RAR by 77% and the number of overdue invoices by 60% – a huge accomplishment in a very short time. Definitely something for Finance to boast about.
