Why credit control matters

Visibility and control over finances are essential for business success, allowing you to forward plan efficiently and to have awareness over all areas of your business costings. Managing your business’s credit control means making sure your invoices are paid on time. Many businesses implement payment terms, this should always be decided in conjunction with your business cash flow so you can stay on top of outgoings. For example, for a thirty-day payment term, this means your business would need sufficient funds within the thirty-day term to stay on top of all costs and outgoings while waiting for payments. Efficient credit control helps your business to avoid long term debts, something everyone wants to avoid. Late payments from customers can often leave businesses with insufficient funds, meaning late payments to your suppliers or the need to cut costs elsewhere in the business. With Credit Hound for Sage 200, you can improve your business’s credit control and gain complete oversight over your cash flow and finances.

Key software features of Credit Hound – Sage 200

Automate tasks: With the help of Credit Hound, you can reduce admin time by automating tasks, allowing your employees to spend more time on other activities, therefore increasing their productivity. Automate tasks such as payment reminders, placing accounts on hold and adding new tasks.
