Managing accounts receivable efficiently is one of the most critical processes in achieving this. To simplify this process, Counts Receivable Management provides powerful tools to track, monitor, and collect payments, making it easier than ever to maintain a healthy cash flow.

Whether you are a small business owner or a financial manager, Counts Receivable Management offers intuitive features that keep you on top of outstanding invoices. Let’s explore its key features and how they can benefit your business.

Key features of Counts receivable management

1. Receivable dashboard: Your command center

The Receivable Dashboard centralizes all your receivables in one place, giving you a bird's eye view of your overall outstanding payments. This feature allows you to assess the status of your receivables effortlessly, saving you from sifting through spreadsheets or manual records.

2. Customer-wise ageing analysis

Understanding your customers’ payment habits is key to optimizing your collections process. The Customer-Wise Ageing Analysis categorizes outstanding payments based on overdue days:

  • 0–30 Days: Recently due payments.

  • 31–60 Days: Slightly delayed payments needing follow-up.

  • 61–90 Days: Payments overdue for up to three months, requiring focused attention.

  • Over 90 Days: Severely overdue payments that may require escalated action.

This analysis helps you identify payment patterns, enabling you to prioritize follow-ups and reduce the risk of bad debts.

3. Overdue days tracker

Tracking overdue days for each customer gives you insights into their payment habits, empowering you to take proactive measures. If certain customers frequently delay payments, you can adjust credit terms, offer timely payment incentives, or engage with them to ensure timely settlements.

4. Easy sharing of outstanding invoices/ledgers/vouchers

Communication is key to maintaining strong customer relationships while ensuring timely payments. With Counts, you can share outstanding invoices, ledgers, and vouchers directly from your mobile phone via WhatsApp or email.

5. Invoice tracker: Monitor payments in real-time

The Invoice Tracker provides real-time updates on payment statuses, whether they are unpaid, partially paid, or fully settled. By staying informed about the progress of each invoice, you can take immediate action when necessary.

Additionally, the Monthly Payment Tracker offers a visual breakdown of payments received over time, making it easy to identify trends and optimize your cash flow strategies.
