BlackLine's Accounts Receivable Automation Solutions:

BlackLine Accounts Receivable Automation solutions streamline and optimize your accounts receivable processing by leveraging intelligent learning to automate tasks like payment application, collections, and risk management. By eliminating manual processing and enforcing tight process control, BlackLine empowers AR teams to concentrate on result-driven actions that deliver substantial value.

With real-time visibility across the platform, businesses can actively capture intelligence about their customer base and payment behaviors. This empowers the business with the strategic data needed to ensure success.

Cash Application

Automatically match incoming payments with corresponding invoices through advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities to eliminate manual cash application. Customers have removed 85% of manual effort and reduced the need for remittances to less than 20%, allowing more time for contacting customers for payment, not requesting remittances.

Collections Management

Centralize and automate the entire invoicing process, from generating invoices to sending reminders and collection notices. This streamlined approach unlocks working capital by releasing cash from debtors. Automated escalating recovery sequences allow teams to focus on actions that impact outcomes.

AR Intelligence

Gain valuable insights into your accounts receivable performance with our powerful analytics and reporting tools. Identify trends, track key customer metrics, and generate comprehensive reports that enable data-driven decision-making to optimize cash flow and identify collection bottlenecks in real-time. Quickly forecast collections with advanced predictability analysis of customer payments and how payment terms granted to customers are impacting cash flow.

Disputes & Deductions Management

Resolve customer disputes promptly to aid in debt collection. Automated workflows in BlackLine accelerate dispute resolution and reporting to demonstrate the impact disputes are having on cashflow.

Credit & Risk Management

Obtain a 360-degree view of your entire customer base and manage the balance between sales and risk of non-payment. BlackLine organizes data from credit reference agencies and credit insurers in a central and navigable hub.

Team & Task Management

Optimize your team’s time by focusing on data-driven priorities. AR teams spend too much time determining which actions and tasks are required and in what order. Monitor critical actions against the volume of work and allocate resources to prioritize managing risk and collecting cash, providing full visibility, and enabling everyone to focus more time on actions that impact business outcomes.
