Cash

Like any business, small or large, credit control is vital to the cash flow of your company. Ensuring you receive payment on time can be very labour intensive and hamper productivity. Chances are you probably employ one or more people for this very task. Now there's a tool, which works to reduce your overall debtor days and improve your cash flow in the process. eMedia's (www.sage-solutions.net) eCredit Sage Solution Add On With eCredit you can automatically and gently prompt and remind your customers when invoices are becoming due, or as is normally the case when the invoices are still awaiting payment. eCredit runs quietly and efficiently in the background every day sending email reminders created by you and sent when you decide. Unlike other more expensive and complex credit control add-ons eCredit is completely automatic, it is not an aid for chasing money using the tried and trusted (and time consuming!) methods. It provides accurate and concise information to customers who have not paid their invoices. eCredit is not for email spamming, you decide how many, or how few emails are sent and these go as a once a day process with multiple invoices per customer being collated into a single email. This tool is extremely easy to use as it offers a wizard-based set-up that guides you through the configuration process; there are even email templates that you can use as a starting point. This add-on is developed for Sage Line 50 accounts and Sage Instant accounting.
