CCH KPI Monitoring: Automated Debt Chasing Package
Overview
Streamline the process of managing outstanding payments by combining the efficiency and consistency of CCH KPI Monitoring with CCH Practice Management to improve cashflow and reduce outstanding debts.
Automated Reminders
Send payment reminders at customisable intervals. Attach Statements and copy invoices prompting clients to pay promptly. No more responding to late payments because your client “hasn’t seen the invoice”.
Automated task creation
When a debt becomes too overdue for an automated reminder, automatically have a task created and allocated to a member of your team to get in touch with the client. The task shows which invoices are outstanding and how much is overdue. There is also a direct link to the client’s sales ledger so your team can see the full picture before initiating contact.
Full debt chasing history
All automated reminders log an entry in the client’s credit control notes so when your team contact the client, they can see all of the activity.
Postal reminders
We know not everyone can be sent their correspondence by email, so for those that need to be sent by post, send an email to your team with a single PDF with all of the covering letters, statements and copy invoices, and print them off all in one go.
