Check Your Customer's Financial Health
Before accepting the order of a new client, it is good to check their financial situation.
But how to go about it
Organize Customer Follow-ups
Client reminders should take place before the due date of payment. Indeed, it is important to verify that the whole process is running smoothly: has the client received the goods? Has the purchasing department given the green light for payment? Is the accounts payable department preparing the payment?
Payment Deadlines
Understand the principles of deadlines and payment delays to prevent potential difficulties and optimize the management of your accounts receivable.
Optimize Your Payment Terms
Good cash management requires two concerted actions: on the one hand, reducing customer payment terms; on the other hand, reviewing supplier payment terms.
Reduce the Risk of Non-Payment
Non-payment constitutes a loss and costs the company dearly. Carrying out systematic reminders can avoid this situation. But sometimes this is not enough and procedures must be initiated.
