Automation can help with this particular plumbing problem through:
- Dashboards: Clear Data Visibility
- Automated Collections & Ageing Reports
- Monthly, accurate customer billing

3. Revenue Leakage refers to revenue or potential
revenue that is lost through
processes/transactions.
So, it is money that is rightly yours, but that you
are not receiving (or are ‘leaking’) due to various
inefficient or ineffective processes.

4. Stemming the Revenue Leakage flow allows you to
make more money without increasing your prices,
working harder, or charging your customers more.
Its one of those rare cases where everyone wins.
Automation can help with this
particular plumbing problem.
7. Automated systems have integrated
key metric dashboards.
A dashboard sits in front of your
business operations platform, collating
and presenting your key metrics.
It’s a single screen that tracks all
your important data points in real-
time.
8. Having this global, trustworthy key business information
collated visually in a single place allows you to quickly and
easily identify:
1. Trends by geography, department, function, product or
service
2. Sales statistics to predict future revenue and pipeline
3. Ageing reports to identify outstanding cash flow
4. Operational process delays through outstanding
customer support tickets
9. Visibility of key business metrics is essential
to the longevity of your business.
Being able to quickly and easily identify a
problem area or potential problem area
mitigates any revenue leakage losses.
11. If your current collections process is a spreadsheet with cells
coded in red, orange and yellow to denote time outstanding -
you are not alone.
These may look pretty but they are not effective.
12. An automated collections process detects whether a
payment has been made and, if necessary, automatically
sends out a series of payment reminders to the
customer at predetermined intervals.
These eventually culminate in (an automatic) suspension
of services until such time that the outstanding balance
is settled.
13. Any outstanding payments are automatically collected and
analysed through real-time Ageing reports.
These reports let you know:
★ How much is outstanding
★ How long it has been outstanding for
★ Which customers have amounts
outstanding
14. This information allows you to manage your finances
accordingly and allocate your resources in the most
effective (read: Profitable) way possible.
All helping contain your bottom line and
mitigate revenue leakage.
16. Incorrect customer billing is a primary
source of revenue leakage.
Humans are awesome, but even the best
spreadsheet gurus have bad days.
Combine multiple procedural tasks with
stringent time constraints, and errors are
guaranteed to happen.
17. Automation of this process ensures accuracy.
The bill run is automatically compiled and available for
review and approval before processing.
Any necessary manual changes can usually be made
before all the invoices are compiled and automatically
emailed out to your customer base.
Automating the billing process eliminates errors and
allows your highly-skilled finance team to focus on
tasks that require individual attention.
