Background

Specializing in cultural merchandise, this small and medium-sized enterprise has a strong presence in Europe.

Although it is now part of an international group, it was still facing inconsistencies in debt collection methods across its subsidiaries.
Processes varied by country, making consolidation complex and time-consuming.

That is why the finance department, together with the credit manager, began searching for a single tool.
The goal was clear: to standardize practices, ensure data reliability, and reduce payment lead times.

Objective

Abysse Corp specializes in cultural merchandise and has a strong presence in Europe.

The company was facing recurring challenges in managing its accounts receivable.
Manual collection processes resulted in wasted time, inconsistent tracking of payments received, and a lack of visibility into customer balances.

To rectify these problems, Abysse Corp wanted to streamline debt collection.
It also wanted to anticipate non-payments and structure reminders more efficiently and proactively.

Solution Implemented

To address these challenges, Aston AI has implemented its Cash Collection solution:

Fully customizable dashboards, a detailed aging report by subsidiary, and a system for consolidating data across multiple subsidiaries and currencies.
AI-enhanced customer risk analysis (internal scoring, credit limit management, notifications, etc.) and the ability to integrate external strategic information (from a credit insurer, our partner CréditSafe, or other sources).
The platform has been configured to ensure proactive management of accounts receivable, with intelligent, automated reminders based on risk segmentation.

The finance department automatically receives detailed reports at the desired frequency, including a consolidated cash flow forecast based on debtors’ payment history.

Sales representatives and other field staff have access to a version optimized for mobile devices and smartphones, enabling them to manage their portfolios in real time, all through an intuitive and collaborative interface.

The integration of Aston AI Cash Collection has led to major advancements, such as the automation of time-consuming tasks, operational time savings, more secure collection processes, and, above all, an improvement in available cash flow.

Thanks to our platform, the company was able to improve the analysis and management of its trade receivables, reduce its DSO, and unite its teams around a common, collaborative and scalable tool. A real paradigm shift in cash management. These results demonstrate the concrete effectiveness of a well-thought-out digitalization of the dunning process. They enable the company to turn receivables into cash leverage, while streamlining exchanges with debtors.
