New Customer Attractiveness Scoring provides organizations with flexible models that assess credit worthiness to reduce risk and identify revenue opportunities

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) has unveiled Customer Attractiveness Scoring, new capabilities in its AR (accounts receivable) Intelligence solution designed to provide real-time insights into the risk profile and behavior of an organization's customer base.

Using behavioral insights gleaned in real time during the cash collection and management process, companies can better identify customers who are at risk of defaulting on and/or delaying payments and reduce the risk of debt going bad. BlackLine's added capabilities also will help organizations to better identify customers whose credit risk is minimal, allowing companies to raise credit limits for those who demonstrate consistent payment behavior, thereby becoming a better partner to the business.

As concerns over inflation and an impending economic recession persist, the ability to tap into powerful insights around payment behaviors could help to significantly improve an organization's cash flow. Additionally, as the cost of borrowing continues to rise, companies are looking internally for ways to release working capital to invest elsewhere, without having to borrow from financial institutions. In fact, accordingto the The Hackett Group's report, "2022 Working Capital Survey", the 1,000 largest public companies in the US had almost $1.7 trillion tied up in excess working capital in 2021. As a result, The Hackett Group recommends large companies review and fine tune their credit risk management and collections management processes to capture changing payment behaviors and minimize exposure to bad debt.

Unlike credit risk profiles provided by credit agencies, BlackLine's Customer Attractiveness Scoring shows customer risk based on payment behavior as it's happening, providing the most up-to-date assessment of risk, specific to the trading relationship, instantly to credit teams. Customer Attractiveness Scoring features the following capabilities:

"Given evolving global economic conditions, companies are under increasing pressure to maximize their cash positions, meaning they are spending more time scrutinizing cash flow metrics, such as credit risk management and collections management processes. In fact, we are now seeing executives being asked to report on cash flow and working capital as much as on earnings and revenues," said Andy Lilley, managing director and head of Global AR at BlackLine. "With cash management more critical than ever, we are seeing more customers looking to BlackLine for intelligent insights, as businesses look to harness real-time data and powerful analytics to improve critical decision-making across the enterprise."

The new Customer Attractiveness Scoring sits within BlackLine'sAR Intelligence solution, which enables customers to manage financial risks and opportunities by providing access to real-time, actionable data, which helps them understand their customers' financial behaviors and use the information to impact strategic and operational decision-making. Customer Attractiveness Scoring is generally available now as part of BlackLine AR Intelligence at no additional charge.

Kevin Permenter, research director, Financial Applications, IDC, added: "Navigating the current economic headwinds means looking for ways to free up working capital, and the best way to release working capital is to better manage cash. One of the best ways to do this is by accurately assessing credit risk in real time; after all, global economic uncertainty goes hand in hand with rapid and unexpected changes to business conditions. Therefore, the more information an organization has about customer behavior in a timely fashion, the better they can assess this risk and minimize exposure to bad debt. As such, BlackLine has developed a potentially impactful product feature with BlackLine's Customer Attractiveness Scoring which is specifically designed to help companies better navigate a tough financial environment."

What You Should Know:

Increasing surgical services revenue is a top priority for healthcare systems, with automation seen as a way to accomplish it, according to a newsurveyof healthcare executives conducted by The Health Management Academy.

Seventy-six percent of respondents named increasing surgical services revenue as a top priority, while half the health systems represented said they plan to increase investments across their surgical services in the next two years.

Automation-Driven Improvements in Surgical Services

Qventus is the leading provider of AI-based software for care operations automation. Integrating with EHRs, the Qventus platform uses AI, machine learning, and behavioral science to power best-practice solutions for inpatient, perioperative, emergency department, and command center settings.

The survey, which was conducted in August 2022 in partnership with Qventus, the leading provider of AI-based software for care operations automation, was completed by 21 executives whose titles include chief medical officer, chief operating officer, VP of perioperative services, VP of operations, VP of surgical specialties, surgical chair, clinical enterprise lead and business operations director for surgical services. The responding executives represent 19 health systems with an average total operating revenue of $6.3 billion.

Keyfindingsinclude:

Increasing surgical services revenue is a top priority for the majority (76%) of executives. About half (52%) of health systems are planning to increase investments across the surgical service line in the next two years.

Health system executives are focused on end-to-end growth strategies. Top strategies to increase surgical revenue growth include: improving operating room (OR) scheduling and access (81%), growing case volumes (71%), and increasing surgical referrals to reduce patient leakage (57%).

The majority (71%) of executives report 11% to 30% of their health systems OR time is not optimally used.

Nearly all (95%) of surveyed healthcare systems are looking to automate OR scheduling more and rely less on manual processes.

All (100%) executives agree there is an opportunity to improve surgeon satisfaction rates. Their strategies for improving satisfaction include addressing burnout, streamlining internal processes and using technology to augment manual tasks.

This data confirms what we hear from our leading health system members: executives know their financial recovery from the pandemic depends on growing surgical revenue, and that requires driving integrated strategies that optimize access, case volumes and mix, as well as market share. Leaders recognize that manual processes are holding them back, and they view automation as an essential capability to grow their surgical services revenue, said Brian Contos,SVP ofResearch &Member InsightsatTheHealth ManagementAcademy.

Thecrisis insurgicalrevenue hasbeenaggravatedbytheCOVID-19 pandemicandstaffing shortages, which have cut into hospital operating margins. As a result, healthcare systems are looking for technology that will allow them to maximize their existing capacity without adding resources.

The survey findings validate what weve been hearing from our health system partners, said Mudit Garg, Co-founder and CEO of Qventus. Hospitals are focused on making their perioperative services moreproductiveandefficient,buttheirexisting toolsandEHRsareincapableofdoingit.Togainanew competitive advantage, they need a new approach and are turning to automation software.

The Qventus Perioperative Solution is the only solution that automates strategic growth of surgical services. By combining AI & machine learning, behavioral science, and comprehensive data, the solution creates new white space on OR and surgical robot calendars, automatically fills open times with strategic cases, and identifies referral andoutmigration improvementopportunities while also giving visibility into OR & surgeon performance. As a result, health systems can unlock over 50% of blocks otherwise unused,increase robotic casesby33%, and addover2 cases perOR per month usingexisting resources.

The new 3-Litre Ink System for the Mimaki JFX600-2513 enables customers to maximise production efficiency and improve automation for a more streamlined, productive print operation.

EMEA debut of the new 3-Litre Ink System to take place at Viscom Italia 2022

AmsterdamMimaki, a leading manufacturer of inkjet printers and cutting systems, has today announced a new 3-Litre External Ink Supply Option for the Mimaki JFX600-2513 Large-format Flatbed UV Inkjet Printer. This new ink system has been designed to enable JFX600-2513 customers to maximise production efficiency and improve automation for a more streamlined, productive print operation.

This optional unit will be commercially available globally in January 2023, but visitors to Viscom Italia 2022 in Milan, Italy (13-15 October) will get a preview of this new, production-enhancing system. Show attendees will be the first to see just how much this new 3-litre ink tank capacity reduces the frequency users are required to refill their JFX600-2513 ink supplies(1) . The system even enables ink replenishment during the printing process, further reducing printer downtime and improving productivity.

The 3-litre ink system has been developed with one of Mimakis core objectives for the future of its technology portfolio at the forefront - to support the automation of its customers printing processes. An automatic white ink circulation system included in the 3-litre ink unit eliminates the need for manual shaking. Additionally, weight sensors enable operators to measure the remaining ink levels of the JFX600-2513 more accurately, preventing unnecessary ink waste.

JFX600-2513 printers are also compatible with the proprietary Mimaki MDL command, allowing customers to communicate with their print production systems or peripheral devices via IoT protocols. The MDL command enables automated operation of the respective printing processes, such as the transportation of print media (workpieces). In combination with the new 3-litre ink option, the MDL command will support extensive, continuous, automated printing sessions.

Mark Sollman, Product Manager EMEA, Mimaki Europe explains why automation is key to futureproofing print operations, To be able to better connect technology, make it more intuitive and allow for a more seamless, efficient transition from when a customer places an order to its delivery has clear long-term business benefits. An automated workflow enables printers to improve their production processes, therefore reducing delivery times and allowing them the increased production capacity to take on new business. With this new 3-litre ink unit, JFX600-2513 customers can further minimise downtime and speed up delivery times especially in higher volume print environments, helping them to become more efficient, versatile and profitable.

Designed for high volume print productions, the Mimaki JFX600-2513 large-format flatbed UV inkjet printer is built for efficiency and productivity with its 16 print heads and maximum output size 2500mm x 1300mm x 60mm, corresponding to 4X8 plates (1220mm x 2440mm). Capable of direct printing onto a wide variety of media, including resin, glass, and metal, and of course, large-format signboards, the printer can accommodate substrates of up to 60mm in thickness. The JFX600-2513 also features 2.5D printing (multiple application of ink) enabling layers of UV ink to be printed to create a textured surface for use in higher value printing applications.

Epson Robots to Showcase Automation Solutions at The Assembly Show 2022 | RoboticsTomorrow - Robotics Tomorrow

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "North America and Europe Debt Collection Software Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Component, Deployment Type, Organization Size, and Industry Vertical" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The NA and EU debt collection software market size is expected to grow from US$ 2386.4 million in 2022 to US$ 4148.3 million by 2028; the debt collection software market share is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% during 2022-2028.

Emergence of big data analytics & predictive analytics and digital multi-channel communications & customer centric approaches create ample demand for debt collection software during the forecast period.

Information is the most powerful weapon when it comes to debt collection. Big data analytics can help to get the most relevant information about debtors. Simple information such as demographics and behavioral aspects such as the time a debtor answers a call can significantly affect how a debt collection call is handled. Big Data allows data collection and segregation with a laser-sharp focus related to a single debtor.

Big data opens up possibilities such as speech analysis to confirm current collection. Voice analytics helps to hear 100% of every call. A feat that is impossible or recommended for humans. Input from speech analytics can contribute significantly to training and operational efficiency savings. Furthermore, predictive analytics, a form of advanced analytics, brings breakthroughs to collections. It combines various techniques such as data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and statistical modeling to predict future events. It may sound cryptic, but it has been successful in debt collection.

WNS, a leading utility company, used predictive analytics to increase its debt collections by 50%. A more focused strategy for delinquency management was developed based on the predictive analytics findings. Thus, the emergence of big data and predictive analytics will drive the debt collection software market growth during the forecast period.

Moreover, businesses communicate with their customers through multiple digital channels such as SMS, email, IVR, and WhatsApp. Financial institutions must understand this and develop a communication strategy for each channel. Customers should experience the same high level of service regardless of the communication channel. This multi-channel approach greatly extends to collection spaces where customers prefer to be contacted by SMS or email rather than by phone or letter. The debt collection process should include a multi-channel approach to reach customers according to their channel preferences. Furthermore, customers are accustomed to personalizing services and offers when accessing products and services. A one-size-fits-all approach is no longer optimal and can alienate potential customers.

Additionally, it is important to offer customers self-service options. It shows that 57% of people prefer self-service channels. Customer self-service options and empathy are paramount when designing a customer-centric process for collection. Defaulting borrowers can use their channel of choice to settle their debt problems. Thus, the emerging trend of digital multi-channel communications and a customer-centric approach is driving the debt collection software demand in the debt collection software market during the forecast period.

The debt collection software market is analyzed on the basis of component, deployment type, organization size, and industry vertical.
