Real use case

A day of AR at a B2B SaaS company.

  1. 08:00

    Karin messages the CFO on WhatsApp: “23 boletos due today. 19 already paid overnight. 4 open. Sent a friendly reminder at 7am. Will wait until 11am before escalating.”

  2. 11:00

    2 of the 4 paid. Karin calls (via Retell) the other 2. 1 pays on the spot with Pix. 1 asks for 5 days. Karin offers a 2-installment deal within policy — customer accepts. Deal signed via D4Sign. Karin posts it in the ERP.

  3. 13:00

    A Pix arrives from customer Y for R$ 23,540.12, but with free-text “payment April”. Karin cross-checks open titles, finds 3 possibilities, applies partially to the highest-value one and emails the customer for confirmation.

  4. 14:00

    New customer under analysis. Karin checks SCR-Bacen, Serasa and Kobana's bank connection platform. Score 680, no restriction, sufficient cash. Suggests a R$ 50K limit, automatic approval.

  5. 16:00

    Customer Z disputes a deduction in the Ariba portal. Karin reads the reason, cross-references the contract and invoice, identifies the deduction is valid (monthly contractual discount). Accepts the deduction, notifies the controller and sends a summary to the CFO.

  6. 18:00

    Karin closes the day: projected DSO dropped 0.4 days, R$ 42K recovered in today's collections, R$ 1.2M in new limits approved, 1 dispute resolved.

  • Doesn't call after 8pm
  • Doesn't send WhatsApp on weekends outside B2C
  • Doesn't collect on disputed amounts without resolution
  • Doesn't use threatening language
  • Every contact logged for audit
