Almadar A distributor invoicing from an office near An Nakheel and collecting payment from customers across greater Riyadh loses real cash every month to a process gap nobody has measured.
This is the other high-volume transactional flow, alongside procure-to-pay, that's typically among the first processes centralized when a shared service center is introduced, and the two together usually account for the majority of transactional finance volume in a mid-sized company.
Where order-to-cash typically leaks value
Invoices go out late because they're waiting on manual data entry or sign-off, credit terms get extended informally without a consistent policy, and collections follow up inconsistently, aggressive with some customers and passive with others, based on who happens to be handling the account rather than a structured process.
Why this matters differently by business type
A Riyadh-based trading business with a broad customer base needs disciplined credit control and consistent collections practice to avoid working capital getting tied up across many smaller accounts. An Riyadh contractor billing against project milestones needs invoicing tightly synchronized with actual milestone completion and client sign-off, since a delay here compounds through the whole payment cycle.
Connecting collections to cash forecasting
Reliable order-to-cash data, how quickly customers actually pay against stated terms, is one of the most important inputs into an accurate cash forecast, since a forecast built on optimistic payment assumptions rather than actual collection patterns will consistently overstate near-term cash availability.
What we deliver
A redesigned invoicing and collections process with consistent credit terms and follow-up discipline, and specific recommendations on which customer segments need tighter credit control versus which can reasonably be extended more flexible terms based on actual payment history.
Getting collections staff the right tools
A collections team working from spreadsheets and memory rarely follows up consistently. Even a simple structured tracker showing who's overdue, by how much, and who's responsible for the next contact makes a measurable difference before any bigger system investment is needed.
Riyadh trading businesses with a diverse customer base typically need standardized credit terms and consistent collections discipline applied broadly, while Riyadh project contractors need invoicing tightly integrated with project milestone tracking, since the two business types generate revenue on fundamentally different timelines.
