Lack of predictive analytics for payment behavior and collection optimization
Definition
Most SMBs lack access to analytics capabilities to: (1) predict payment delays before they occur, (2) identify which accounts are highest priority for collection effort, (3) forecast DSO trends, (4) assess collection effectiveness by account/customer segment, (5) optimize collection strategies based on payment patterns. This results in reactive rather than proactive collection management. Collections teams chase all overdue accounts equally rather than focusing on high-value/high-risk accounts. Without predictive insights, businesses cannot intervene before delinquency worsens. Opportunity: AR analytics platforms, predictive collection models, and data-driven collection consulting.
