[REQUEST A DEMO](https://www.sidetrade.com/sidetrade-demos/?fid=4235) ## Augmented Collection Solves Your Challenges ### ******Reactive, fragmented collections execution****** Static aging reports and disconnected systems leave teams without a unified view of customer behavior or payment signals. *Aimie AI-Driven Next-Best-Action Dunning unifies O2C signals to determine the right action per invoice.* ### ********Collector capacity consumed by routine outreach******** Reminders, acknowledgements, and follow-ups absorb time that should go to exceptions and high-impact accounts. *Event-Based Automation handles routine dunning within configured strategy guardrails, freeing up collectors’ time.* ### **********Inconsistent execution across teams and regions********** Without enforceable constraints, collections approaches vary by entity and individual – this undermines governance. *Segment-Based Strategy and Action Limits standardise execution across the portfolio without removing flexibility.* [Case study : Insight](https://go.sidetrade.com/rs/644-KII-388/images/Sidetrade_Case_Study_Insight_Augmented_Collections_FY26_Q1_EN.pdf?version=0&utm_source=website&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=Insight-CS) [Case study : United Site Services](https://go.sidetrade.com/rs/644-KII-388/images/Sidetrade_Case_Study_United_Site_Services_Augmented_Collections_FY26_Q1_EN.pdf?version=0&utm_source=website&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=USS-CS) ## **Benefits** Augmented Collection turns collections into a measurable, scalable operation while protecting customer relationships. ****Faster, more predictable cash performance**** AI-guided next-best-action execution reduces DSO and drives [working-capital impact](https://www.sidetrade.com/working-capital-the-forgotten-link/) without reactive chasing. ****Higher collector productivity, lower cost-to-collect**** Routine tasks are automated so collectors focus where it matters, without headcount growth. ****Fewer wasted touches, better customer experience**** Action, timing, and channel matched to customer context (with outreach constraints enforced). ****Consistent, governed execution at scale**** Business rules, action limits, and escalation policies embedded across every team and region. ****Continuous optimisation from real outcomes**** Aimie-driven actions benchmarked against manual approaches for ongoing strategy refinement.

It prioritizes invoices based on what is most likely to move cash, using invoice details, buyer behavior, and predicted payment outcomes. The result is a daily agenda built around what is most likely to move cash, not what simply looks oldest. #### ****************[H3:%20How%20does%20Sidetrade%20handle%20different%20buyer%20portal%20requirements?](H3:%20How%20does%20Sidetrade%20handle%20different%20buyer%20portal%20requirements?)****************What is next-best-action dunning and how does it work? Next-best-action dunning selects the right action, timing, and channel for each invoice based on what is most likely to work. Teams can use those recommendations directly or automate routine execution inside configured guardrails. #### How does Augmented Collection maintain governance across different regions and teams? Governance is enforced through segment-based strategies, action limits, business rules, and escalation policies. That allows companies to standardize execution globally while still reflecting local realities and customer context. #### How quickly can we expect to see DSO reduction after implementation? Customers typically see annual DSO improvements in the 9 to 15 day range, and some start seeing impact within 2 to 3 months. The timing depends on rollout scope, portfolio complexity, and how much manual work is replaced with AI-guided execution. ### Ready to Transform Your Order-to-Cash?
