Overview

Contactpoint360, a distinguished entity in account management, undertook a pivotal role in transforming the accounts receivables landscape for a major US-based energy firm. Tasked with strategically navigating the challenges surrounding bad debt in the wake of the energy company’s latest acquisition, our focus was on refining the cash application process and optimizing collection recoveries. The teams faced significant hurdles in meeting audit requirements, SLAs, and KPIs, impacting both financial performance and customer satisfaction.

Through a comprehensive approach, we instituted a daily reconciliation process, implemented performance metrics, revamped teams, and enhanced tie-out procedures. The transformative results were profound, showcasing a 91.4% reduction in credit balances, a 92% decrease in accounts requiring verification for bad debt reversal, a 25% cost reduction from external agencies, and an impressive 99.8% adherence to Payments SLA. This case study exemplifies Contactpoint360’s commitment to operational excellence and tangible, impactful outcomes in complex financial landscapes.
