Credit management includes all activities aimed at helping your organisation maintain control over outstanding invoices. From the moment an invoice is issued until payment is received, credit management is designed to accelerate payments while maintaining strong customer relationships.

Credit management is the process by which companies manage their accounts receivable—from issuing invoices to receiving payment. A good credit management process consists of several elements:
Credit management involves the systematic handling of outstanding receivables with the aim of maintaining a healthy cash flow and reducing financial risks.
Properly implemented credit management ensures stability in your working capital, minimises risks, and reduces the number of outstanding invoices.
A poorly structured credit management process may have an immediate and significant impact on your organisation. It leads to increased DSO (Days Sales Outstanding), higher risk of non-payment, and ultimately potential liquidity issues. Did you know that one in five bankruptcies is caused by late payments?
Especially in growing businesses with an increasing number of clients and invoices, effective credit management is crucial. It gives your team more insight and saves valuable time. Automating the process with a solution like Payt helps you streamline operations and reduce errors.
