Head of Finance Solutions
Credit control is managing how much credit you extend and how quickly it's repaid: aging buckets group receivables by how long they're outstanding, automated reminders chase payment, and credit limits protect against bad debt.
Cash flow problems usually start quietly: invoices age from 30 to 60 to 90 days, and nobody notices until the business can't pay its own bills. Aging buckets group your receivables by how long they've been outstanding, making the problem visible.
Chasing debtors is tedious and easy to postpone. Configure automated payment reminders so customers get a polite, consistent nudge before and after due dates — without your team spending the morning on emails.
Set credit limits per customer and review them as payment behaviour changes. A customer who starts paying late shouldn't automatically get the same credit ceiling as your most reliable client.
Days Sales Outstanding is the average time between making a sale and getting paid. Tracking DSO over time shows whether your collections are improving, and Retten Work's analytics surface exactly where the cash is stuck.
