Instant Collections Performance Dashboard (No Manual Reports)

Last updated: 12/12/2025

For most finance teams, "visibility" into collections means waiting for someone to manually run a report at the end of the week or month. This data is instantly out of date and useless for making real-time decisions. You need instant visibility. Respaid’s unified platform replaces your slow, manual reports with a live, automated collections dashboard, giving you an "always-on" view of your performance, DSO, and cash flow.

Instant Visibility Dashboard

Why [Instant Visibility] Matters in 2025

You can't manage what you can't measure in real time. Waiting for a manual report to tell you your DSO is high is like looking in the rearview mirror to see where you're going. Instant visibility from a live dashboard allows you to be proactive. You can see your DSO trending up this week, not last month. You can see which reminders are working today. This transforms AR from a reactive, historical reporting function into a strategic, forward-looking cash flow operation.

Total Outstanding & Overdue

Aging Reports (0-30, 31-60, 61-90+ days)

Cash Collected This Month

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Identify Receivables Challenge

You have no real-time visibility into your collections. You are completely reliant on manual, outdated reports from Excel or your ERP.

The pain point is a total lack of "instant" data, which makes it impossible to manage performance.

Step 2: Connect Data Sources

Securely connect your accounting system (QuickBooks, Xero, ERP) or upload your invoice data via CSV.

This is the last "manual report" you will ever have to run.

Step 3: Automate Follow-Ups & Workflows

(Optional, but recommended) As your automation runs, the dashboard also tracks performance metrics like recovery rates and engagement.

Step 4: Monitor, Predict, and Recover

This is your new workflow. Instead of asking for a report, you just open your Respaid dashboard.

You have instant, 24/7 visibility into your DSO, aging, and overall collections performance, all without any manual work.
