Why this matters to the CFO

AR sits at the intersection of cash, P&L, and the close.

The cost of running AR poorly is not measured in labor hours; it's measured in cash that arrived late, customers who never paid, and reserves that grew because the team could not investigate fast enough.

Without Listra
With Listra
DSO and cash timing
Friendly reminders go out. The hard work (disputes, deductions, customer calls) waits for hours the team doesn't have.
The full collection lifecycle runs continuously, not just the easy reminders. Working capital comes back faster.
Bad debt and write-offs
Deductions sit unvalidated for sixty days. Disputes age in inboxes. By the time anyone investigates, the case is cold.
Cases get investigated as they arise, while the customer and the documentation are still fresh. Fewer cases turn into write-offs.
Cash forecasting accuracy
The forecast is built on assumptions about which invoices will dispute, which will short-pay, and which will land clean.
Each case has its actual state and the underlying evidence. The forecast inputs reflect what is happening across the portfolio.
Customer disputes and deductions
Promotional allowances, quality claims, and short-pays accumulate. Cash sits behind cases nobody has had time to open.
Each deduction is investigated against the contract, payment history, and your policy, then applied, disputed, or escalated in days.
Close predictability and audit posture
AR aging analysis, allowance calculations, and dispute reserves are recurring month-end fire drills.
Investigation runs continuously. Aging at month-end reflects work already done; the audit trail is built as it happens.
How it works

End-to-end AR resolution against your policy.

Five stages, one pipeline. Each case flows through the platform with the evidence captured at every step.

Invoice delivery
ERP-generated invoices route through Listra. Configurable review window before customer send.
Follow-up cadence
Dunning configured per customer segment, payment terms, and your collections policy.
Dispute investigation
Listra investigates root cause across contract, payment history, shipment data, and policy.
Deduction validation
Allowances and rebates matched against the agreement before they are applied or disputed.
Posting & reconciliation
Cash, deductions, and write-offs post to your ERP. Sub-ledger and GL stay in sync.
Trust progression

Most customers start in Copilot for every case type. As Listra demonstrates accuracy in your environment for a given case type, that type becomes a candidate for Autopilot. You set the threshold. You see the audit trail. You make the call.
