The work it takes off your plate

The Automated Dunning Agent tackles the inefficiencies of manual dunning processes, which can lead to delayed payments and strained customer relationships. By automating reminders and follow-ups, it enhances cash flow and reduces the workload on finance teams.

How it works

The Automated Dunning Agent continuously ingests open invoices, payment status, customer contact details, aging rules, and prior collection activity from billing and accounting systems. It reconciles balances, removes invoices under dispute or covered by payment arrangements, and segments overdue accounts by days past due, amount, risk, and customer status. The agent then selects the appropriate reminder cadence, drafts personalized notices, and routes them for automated email delivery or finance-team approval. It monitors replies, payments, bounces, and promises to pay, updates collection statuses, and escalates accounts that remain unresolved. Finance teams receive an auditable worklist, message history, and recovery metrics.
