挑战
Lhoist faced significant challenges in their cash application and collections process due to a high volume of transactions and limited resources. They had 2,000 active customer accounts with over 22,000 open line items and $5,000,000 in unapplied cash. The collections team had to manage $25,000,000 past due A/R on 22,000 open line items. Manual processing of check-based payments, non-standardized e-payments, high deductions volume, and overall slower cash posting were major issues. Additionally, manual correspondence and limited resources further complicated the collections process.
