Credit Managers who manage large or multiple ledgers have
come to realise that they need to use specialist software to
achieve or maintain performance improvement – be that risk,
collections or both.
For many Credit Managers a key question is where to start.
How do you examine and evaluate the options? How and
when do you start the budgeting process? What are the
steps?
Co-pilot has advised on credit management software for a
number of years. We have good knowledge of the available
solutions, what’s good, how they work and what type of
solution best fits given situations. We combine this with
considerable experience of credit management Best Practice
so that you can pull everything together into one place and
achieve a flexible and sustainable position going forward.
We work with you through a structured evaluation process
which is designed to enable you to have a clear view of
what you can achieve going forward, what is practicable,
the business case implications, the preferred supplier(s) and
what the implementation process would sensibly look like (in
our opinion, there is no such thing as “Plug and play”).
