Rebuilding $42B in AR Across 50+ Countries for the Agentic AI Era

As an Agentic Process Owner, I’m leading the transformation of a $42B receivables portfolio across 52 countries. We are building one global model for people and AI agents to work together. AI agents automate dunning, prioritize collector worklists and work customer portals. This has helped cut DSO by 12 days, while Cash Application has reached 90% automation. My focus now is scaling what works and improving agent performance globally.

Meet Freeda: How an AI Agent Became the Top Collector at Baker Hughes

A customer emailed our outsourced collections team eight times without getting the right response. That moment sparked a bigger question: could we build the perfect collector with AI? Meet Freeda. She reads customer emails, understands what customers need and takes the next action. Today, we measure her alongside our human collectors, and she has become our top collector for promises captured from incoming emails, logging 1,303 promises worth nearly $128M in a single quarter at 95%+ accuracy. And we’re steadily teaching her more of the job.

Director of Finance

The Road from 0% to 100% Cash Application Automation

90% automation sounds like the finish line. At XPO, it changed the job description. Cash Application analysts stopped spending their days applying payments and started hunting down why the remaining payments failed. A bad remittance. A broken rule. A customer that changed behavior. Even one misplaced quotation mark that was costing us almost 3% in automation. This is how we’re turning analysts into managers of AI, as we push toward autonomous Cash Application.

<1% Past Due: Unlocking $250M in Working Capital with an End to End O2C Platform

We got past dues below 1%. But Collections alone didn’t get us there. We had to fix O2C end to end. Cash that once took 4 weeks to apply now gets applied within 24 hours, with just 3 people running Cash Application across the Americas. Paper credit applications went online, with better upfront screening of who we do business with. EIPP made it easier for customers to see invoices and pay, while surcharging eliminated $3M in credit-card fees. The bigger change? We went from being seen as “hard to do business with” to giving Customers, Sales and Finance data they trust. That’s how we’re unlocking $250M in working capital.

How We Cut Deductions Resolution to 12 Days and Increased Net Recovery 5X

150,000 deductions worth $200M every year. We now resolve them in 12 days on average and recover nearly 5X more than we used to. The unlock was treating Walmart, Amazon and other major retailers differently, because every retailer has its own portals, deduction codes, backup and dispute rules. We combine retailer-specific AI Agents with automated claim-backup retrieval, claim linking and reason coding, so analysts can spend their time on the invalid deductions worth fighting. The result: 93% of identified invalids collected and $5M recovered annually.

How We Recover $25.5M, Cut DDO by 25 Days and Got Big-Box Retailers to Finally Deduct Less

Walmart, Target, Kroger, and a long list of other big-box retailers. Phew! When you sell at that scale, deductions come fast, and at Danone, we were dealing with more than 1M claims. Agents now pull backup from 25+ retailer portals, link proofs and score claims to find what’s worth fighting. That helped us recover $25.5M and cut DDO from 55 to 30 days. Open balances are now at an all-time low, even as our team went from 53 to 46. By consistently disputing invalid claims with the right proof, retailer behavior started changing too, with fewer invalid deductions coming back. Turns out, the best deduction to recover is the one that never shows up.

How We Got to 99.3% Global A/R Forecast Accuracy With Transaction-Level Insights

Most cash forecasts tell you how much will come in. Ours tells us who will pay, when, and why. At Danone, 85 major customers each get their own AI model, plus one for the long tail. They analyze 56 transaction-level signals, from due dates and payment patterns to deductions, skipped invoices and broken promises to pay. The result is 99.3% global A/R forecast accuracy, with intelligence down to the individual invoice so Treasury can forecast cash and Collections can act before it becomes past due.

How We Took 20 Days Off DSO with AI Agents Across Cash App and Collections

180,000 open invoices. Nearly $2B in annual cash receipts. And a business that keeps acquiring companies. At DXP, we took 20 days off DSO and added $20M in cash flow by rebuilding AR around AI Agents. Customer Identification, Payment Remittance Linking and Payment Invoice Matching Agents help automate over 90% of cash posting. In Collections, Worklist Prioritization directs collectors to high-risk accounts, while Automated Dunning sends reminders and QuickPay links to smaller customers.

Global Process Owner - Invoice to Cash

Unlocking $112M in Working Capital to Help Fund the Future of Surgery

What does collecting cash from hospitals have to do with the future of robotic surgery? At Zimmer Biomet, quite a lot. Following a major merger, we inherited 7–10 ERPs, fragmented AR processes and millions in unapplied cash. We transformed Invoice-to-Cash across the Americas and EMEA, achieving 85% Cash Application automation and eliminating $12M in unapplied cash. Automated Dunning Agents expanded customer coverage 3.8x, helping collectors focus on complex accounts and overdue payments.

How FBM Used Smart Surcharging to Drive $2B in Digital Payments and Cut DSO by 3.9 Days

What if credit card surcharges could do more than recover processing costs? At FBM, we first used surcharging to pass credit card processing fees on to customers, reducing our cost of accepting payments. Then we turned that same policy into an incentive for faster cash: pay within terms to avoid the surcharge, or pay by low cost ACH. This strategy helped us scale to $2B in annual digital payments, with 71% via ACH. This helped us cut DSO by 3.9 days, accelerate cash collections and reduce payment processing costs.
