DSO reduction is a process design challenge
Sustainable DSO improvement comes from process quality, not pressure. Clean invoicing, clear approval workflows, and disciplined follow-up cycles outperform ad hoc collections campaigns.
Root-cause fixes remove recurring friction and improve long-term cash predictability.
Segment accounts by payment behavior
Different customers require different treatment. Define cadence and escalation by payment reliability, dispute frequency, and strategic importance.
Behavior-based segmentation improves team productivity and collection effectiveness.

Resolve disputes quickly and visibly
Disputes are a major source of hidden DSO inflation. Track dispute categories, owners, aging, and resolution SLA in one transparent workflow.
Reducing dispute cycle time often unlocks faster cash gains than adding reminder volume.
Measure leading indicators, not only DSO
Track current-to-overdue conversion, promise-to-pay hit rate, and dispute recurrence. These measures show whether process improvements are working before headline DSO moves.
