Smart Automation Tool Helps Lenders and Finance Teams Manage Risk, Accelerate Cash Flow

Chaser recently integrated its smart credit control automation solution with Sage Intacct, a cloud accounting solution. The initiative offers lenders, credit providers, and finance teams new resources to combat rising credit risk and improve accounts receivable operations.

The integration enables real-time credit checks and AI-powered payer reliability analysis within the Intacct environment. With Chaser, the credit control cycle can be automated from the initial credit analysis up to final receipt of payment.

Such a level of automation addresses urgent requirements in B2B payments. Nearly half of firms report an increase in overdue payments over the past year, and chasing involves hours away from finance staff.

With the integration, firms get multichannel reminder facilities — email, SMS, letter, and auto-call — plus reporting that can be tailored to track and improve their collection process.

Tackling Late Payments and Manual Work

“Credit controllers are coming into these roles, they’re entry-level roles typically, that are done by very young people who sit down at their desks and think, ‘Hey, there’s got to be a better way to do this; this is way too manual,’” said Chaser CEO Sonia Dorais in an interview with PYMNTS.

Research backs the argument for automation in the accounts receivable area. A PYMNTS Intelligence survey found that 77% of CFOs at large U.S. companies say AR automation saves time by automating the invoice tracking.

The Chaser-Intacct combination follows up that momentum with a faster cash day and better forecasting.

Supporting Lenders in a Tightening Market

For lenders and institutions that are subprime-centric, the integration can streamline credit risk and collections management, particularly for thin-file or higher-risk borrowers. With credit constraints in the majority of industries, automated risk triaging and outreach can help lenders maintaini margins.

The system is available today with a free 10-day trial version, and the installation involves a secure sync between a Sage Intacct account and a Chaser account.

This new offering also adds value by helping businesses stick to good habits around credit management. It’s easier to spot which customers tend to pay late and send reminders before a problem gets worse.

The system’s alerts and tracking give teams a clearer view of their incoming cash, so they aren’t caught off guard. That kind of insight supports better planning and smoother budgeting.

The integration fits into a larger trend. More finance teams are moving away from spreadsheets and email chains to tools that do the heavy lifting. Automating repetitive tasks lets staff focus on bigger goals, like building client relationships and keeping operations moving.

With Chaser and Sage Intacct working together, firms don’t need to trade precision for speed — they get both.
