HighRadius has made a huge difference in our collections, cutting the difference in best possible vs. actual DSO from 11 days to 6, and we’re aiming for 5 days long term. The auto-linking of notices has been a game-changer, dropping our aging percentage from 22% to just 9% in a year. The on-demand reporting is a lifesaver for our VP of Finance, giving instant insights into deductions and making our operations much smoother and more efficient.
