The problem

What this workflow costs today.

01Orders wait for credit

Sales orders sit in a queue while credit is checked manually, and customers buy elsewhere.

02Credit analysis takes days

New and expanding accounts need a report built by hand from ageing, payments and external data.

03Invoices leave late

Invoices issued four to five days after delivery push every collection back and inflate DSO.

04Statements and follow-up are sporadic

Customers receive statements irregularly and disputes are found at month-end.

Three agents, order to cash

From order to cash, around the clock.

Credit, invoicing and collections share one customer record on SAP Business One.

A walkthrough of the agents at work: what they see, what they decide, and where people stay in control.

How it works

The AiX™ loop, applied end to end.

Every agent follows the same five steps, so behaviour is predictable and every step leaves evidence.

1
Observe

Sales orders, customer master, open items, payment history, deliveries and approved credit policy.

2
Reason

Calculates exposure against limit, ageing profile and payment trend for each order and customer.

3
Decide

Applies the credit policy: release, hold or escalate, and recommends limits for new or growing accounts.

4
Act

Releases orders within policy, issues day-0 invoices, sends statements and reminders.

5
Learn

Tracks DSO, releases and bad-debt signals, and tightens or relaxes recommendations accordingly.

The agent team

Specialist agents, separated by duty.

No single agent both proposes and approves. Each one has a narrow job, its own tools and its own permissions.

Credit Check Agent

Checks exposure, limit, ageing and payment behaviour the moment an order is placed.

Credit Analysis Agent

Writes a credit report with a recommended limit and terms, citing every data point used.

Invoicing Agent

Issues the invoice on delivery confirmation and sends it to the customer the same day.

Collections Agent

Sends statements and reminders on schedule and routes disputes to the right owner.

Autonomy you can govern, trace and control.

Speed comes from autonomy. Trust comes from the three things around it. This is how each is designed into AR & Credit Control.

Autonomy

Routine releases, invoicing and statements run around the clock inside the credit policy; exceptions go to people.

Governance

The credit policy, limits by customer class and approval matrix are encoded as rules and signed off by finance.

Traceability

Every release or hold records the exposure, limit, ageing and rule applied at that second.

Control

Finance adjusts limits and bands at any time; above-limit releases always need a named approver.

AiX™Authentic AIExplainable, traceable, reconcilable
Autonomy bands

What the agent does alone, and what it never does.

Bands are agreed with the business before go-live and widened only on evidence from the pilot.

Guardrails

  • Agent cannot raise its own credit limits
  • Above-limit releases need a named approver
  • Write-offs and account stops are human decisions
  • Every customer message uses approved templates
Outcomes & measurement

Every metric has a baseline and a method.

Success metrics are agreed before build and signed off with the client after the pilot.

Pilot results are company-reported and engagement-specific. Figures and names in decision records are illustrative.

How we deliver

The A.G.E.N.T. Method.

Agentic process reengineering, one workflow at a time.

AAudit

Map how the workflow really runs today, with owners, data lineage and the tacit rules.

GGauge

Agree the business outcome, the baseline and the success metrics before build.

EEngineer

Redesign for agent-first execution: agents, tools, rules and autonomy bands.

NNavigate

Pilot inside your controls, train owners and move bands only on evidence.

TTrack

Measure against the baseline and report the result the business signed off.

Start with one workflow, one agent and one measurable result.

Book a working session with our team in Dubai, Riyadh or the UK. We will map the workflow, agree the metric and show the agent running on data like yours.
