The payoff
Less investigating. Faster resolution.
When contract, billing, and usage context sit next to the customer reply, collectors stop digging through systems and start clearing the question that holds payment.
Receivables recipes / Clear disputes faster
Clear disputes faster and unlock your working capital
Collectors spend up to 40% of their time investigating customer replies across fragmented systems. Unifying subscription, billing, and payment data helps them resolve cases faster — so they can focus on collecting, not investigating.

Enterprise implementation · standard process
Hi team, we’re holding payment on INV-1042. The implementation is still in progress and we’re only using the base package. Why should we pay the enterprise fee?
STEP 02
Stop routine reminders when a customer needs attention
Once a customer has raised a dispute, promised to pay, or asked for something that needs a response, stop sending routine reminders.

STEP 03
Ask AI to investigate the issue
Once you understand the request, ask AI to investigate. If promised implementation work hasn’t been delivered, AI checks the contract, finds the undelivered items and stakeholders, and shows which part of the invoice is disputed.
Investigation
Could you clarify why payment is due while implementation is still in progress?
Contract §3.2 Invoice, line 2 Usage: base package
Check context
Contract §3.2 covers the enterprise implementation. Invoice line 2 carries the $25,000 fee. Usage shows the base package in use.
STEP 04
Review the findings and take action
Review what AI has found before you respond. See why the customer is disputing the invoice, what it relates to, and who needs to be involved. Apply the suggested action or ask AI for more information first.

STEP 05
Ask AI to draft the response
Ask AI to draft a reply using the context it has gathered. Review it, make any changes, and send it to the customer.

Draft a reply for the collector to review
Keep every dispute moving forward.
Don’t start investigating until you know what the customer is challenging. Identify the invoice, line item, amount, and reason for the dispute so you can focus on the issue that needs to be resolved.
Review the contract, invoice, usage, payment history, and customer conversation before replying. Having the full context helps you answer the actual question instead of creating another round of back-and-forth.
A dispute over one invoice line doesn’t always mean the entire balance should stop. Where appropriate, separate the disputed amount from what the customer still owes and continue collecting the undisputed balance.
Don’t let disputes sit in the void without an owner or action. Decide whether the next step is to respond to the customer, involve another team, correct the invoice, or follow up on an agreed payment date.
