Get Paid Faster: Automating B2B Accounts Receivable

The Credit Management Headache

Allowing customers to "buy now, pay later" is standard in wholesale. But managing that debt is often done on sticky notes, mental reminders, or messy spreadsheets.

This leads to two major problems:

  1. Bad Debt: You keep selling to a customer who already owes you too much, simply because the cashier didn't check the balance.
  2. Slow Payments: Customers don't pay because they don't know exactly what they owe. They wait for you to call them, and you're too busy to call.

Built-In Accounts Receivable

Katalogo POS treats customer credit as a first-class feature, not an afterthought.

1. Enforce Credit Limits

Set a maximum credit limit for each customer. If they try to buy on credit while over their limit, the system blocks the sale (or requires manager override). This stops bad debt before it happens.

2. Professional Statements

Stop sending confusing lists of invoices. Katalogo generates professional Statements of Account with one click. These show:

  • Opening balance
  • New invoices
  • Payments received
  • Current amount due

Clear, professional statements get paid faster. It's that simple.

3. Payment Tracking

When a customer comes in to pay off their debt, it's handled right at the POS. You can accept a partial payment, apply it to their account, and print a receipt showing their new remaining balance instantly.

Cash Flow is King

Your inventory is money sitting on a shelf. Your receivables are money sitting in someone else's pocket. You need tools to turn both into cash in the bank.

By automating the tracking and enforcement of credit, you reduce the administrative burden of collections and improve your cash flow cycle. Your accountant will thank you.
