Debt reduction through the standardization of operations
ur client is a business group whose activity focuses on the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of mobility solutions, such as lifts, escalators, ramps and corridors.
Its activity extends to 13 countries. In 2021, it closed the year with a turnover of more than 800 million € with the aim of exceeding 900 million € in turnover and 6,000 employees in 2022. The expansion plan defined to reach a figure of business close to 1,200 million € in 2030 with a workforce that would amount 7.300 employees.
Our client was in the middle of the process of integrating three companies in the United Kingdom, each one with a different culture and numerous problems in billing clients. There was a lack of common criteria, and different management systems co-existed without a standard procedure. On the other hand, it was an inefficient system that generated a delay in the collection of 2.5 million Pounds.
65% of non-payments originate from internal problems regarding lack of information. In addition, there was no central billing department, and having the origin in 3 different companies, there were problems in harmonizing the accounts.
The challenge DOT faced consisted of the implementation of a standard billing system in all the companies of the UK subsidiary.
The operating model of the teams involved in billing processes was optimized through the modernization of the organization and the use of technologies offered by the market.
- Customer incidents were typified and response times were adjusted to customer demands through the implementation of standard procedures. The reliability of billing for elevator maintenance and installation work increased considerably and payment terms were reduced.
- After 4 months of the project launch, the invoicing of the entire UK was already carried out centrally and, at the end of the project, the debt pending for collection had been reduced by 12%.
