CREDIT MANAGEMENT

Common issues with Credit Management

Most companies report an issue with credit management in the following ways:-

  • Generally across all countries, credit management is handled by the business units in a disparate way where most credit departments very much do their own thing with largely ineffective communication between Credit and Collections
  • Credit does not often ask the countries what to set credit limits at or what the payment performance of certain customers is. They might discover this data in reporting but by then it’s often too late
  • There is no workflow or ability to track requests for changes to risk codes, credit limits, payment terms. There is also no workflow to warn anyone if a customer or dealer are nearing their credit limit
  • Many processes are manual and all done through email
