| Chaser Technologies | Legacy | Chaser Accounts Receivable Automation Software | AR Automation | ERP | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015 Farnell Clarke implemented Chaser Accounts Receivable Automation Software to automate its credit control and eliminate a previously paper based process. The move targeted the firm’s accounting and credit control function across its Norwich and London operations, embedding AR automation into the core bookkeeping workflows of a firm of over 35 staff.
Chaser Accounts Receivable Automation Software was configured to run automated email chasers and human centric templates against the firm’s debtor ledger, providing scheduled debtor list processing and a lightweight workflow for handling incoming replies. The AR Automation deployment was executed via a one click integration and brief setup, enabling rapid activation of automated chase sequences while preserving manual pre chase review controls.
Operational integration included a direct Xero connection to maintain debtor data synchronization and to trigger chaser sequences from outstanding invoices, supporting both in house credit control and an outsourced credit control offer to clients. Farnell Clarke used the solution to manage its own debtor book and to operate credit control on behalf of clients, with an initial firm receipt of £3,792 within the hour of first use and a client recovery of £4,000 in less than four weeks recorded.
Governance and process changes centered on a defined weekly cadence, with approximately one hour pre chase to assess debtor status and no more than two further hours per week to handle replies, reducing ongoing credit control effort to under three hours per week. The firm became a certified Chaser accredited partner and institutionalized the automated chase workflow as a client service, preserving human review gates to avoid inappropriate chasing while scaling credit control delivery.
