Product / Dunning Automation

Automate collections follow-up while keeping your team in control.

Ledgewave helps AR teams automate reminders, standardize collections workflows, and keep full visibility into customer communication.

Follow-Up Risk

Manual collections follow-up doesn’t scale.

When follow-up lives in inboxes and spreadsheets, teams lose visibility, consistency, and accountability.

Follow-up is spread across inboxes

Manual outreach makes it harder to see what was sent, who owns the next step, and which accounts are drifting.

Collector processes vary

Inconsistent communication and escalation practices create uneven customer handling and management visibility.

Reporting lacks activity context

Finance teams need outreach history, promise dates, and account status tied to operational reporting.

Dunning Workflow

Send smarter collections outreach based on real account context.

Automate reminders using invoice status, payment history, customer risk, and collector workflows — not just invoice aging.

Segmented cadences

Create follow-up paths by account type, balance, risk, customer tier, entity, owner, or invoice status instead of using one broad reminder schedule.

Invoice-aware templates

Prepare outreach with the right invoices, balances, due dates, promise context, dispute notes, and account owner details already attached.

Collector review points

Keep automation practical with review, approval, pause, skip, and escalation moments for accounts that need human judgment.

Automation handles

  • Queue selection and next-touch timing
  • Reminder cadence and escalation sequencing
  • Draft preparation from invoice and account context
  • Follow-up status, sent history, and promise tracking

Teams keep control of

  • Which accounts enter or pause in a sequence
  • Customer-specific language, approvals, and exceptions
  • Dispute, escalation, and relationship-sensitive handling
  • Manager review before critical follow-up moves forward
Standardize Collections Execution

Standardize collections workflows without removing human judgment.

Give collectors automation where it helps while keeping flexibility for disputes, escalations, and customer-specific handling.

1

Create repeatable follow-up workflows

Build structured outreach processes around account priority, aging, payment behavior, and invoice status.

2

Keep communication history visible

Track notes, outreach activity, sent history, and promise dates in one workflow.

3

Improve collector consistency

Reduce process variation and create clearer operational accountability.

4

Support operational escalation

Identify accounts requiring escalation or additional attention before issues compound.

Operational Memory

Keep every customer interaction and promise visible.

Dunning automation should reduce missed touches without erasing the context that protects customer relationships.

Follow-up history

Keep prior touches, skipped steps, notes, ownership changes, and sent messages visible before the next action goes out.

Promise and dispute context

Track promise dates, dispute status, partial payment notes, and customer-specific exceptions so the next reminder is accurate.

Manager visibility

See which accounts are active, paused, escalated, waiting on review, or drifting without a next action.

Integration Fit

Automation works better when connected to live receivables data.

Outreach logic depends on current invoices, balances, payments, promises, customer contacts, and ownership details.

Data that improves dunning

  • Customer, parent account, and contact records
  • Invoice status, balance, due date, credits, and disputes
  • Payment history, recent cash activity, and promise dates
  • Collector owner, region, entity, segment, and escalation status

Launch paths

  • ERP and accounting connections for source receivables data
  • Email or ESP planning for outreach and response context
  • CSV, secure-file, warehouse, API, or webhook paths when needed
  • Focused launch first, then deeper automation after the workflow is proven
