Accounts receivable & credit · Janitorial & packaging supply
Collect on contract terms without stalling orders.
Facility AR ages quietly — net-30 slips to 60, statements go unsent, and a credit hold blocks a recurring order. Cash sits in the aging report.
The reality
AR is a follow-through problem.
Collections come down to working the aging buckets — sending the statement, applying the ACH or check remittance to the right open invoices, and deciding whether to hold or release the next recurring order. The clean accounts coast while the slow payers absorb all the attention, and holds get applied late or left on after payment.
The operator reviews aged invoices, sends statements on schedule, applies incoming payments against the correct invoices, and releases the credit hold the moment the account clears — so cash comes in on contract terms without freezing facilities that have already paid.
