Use case

Accounts receivable automation for wholesale & distribution

Wholesale and distribution runs on thin margins and a large book of B2B accounts on terms. Welldun works that whole queue by exposure, handles short-pays and deductions, and applies incoming cash automatically.

In short

  • A large book of B2B accounts on terms makes consistent follow-up hard.
  • Deductions and short-pays are common and erode thin margins.
  • Cash arrives in high volume and is slow to match by hand.
  • Welldun works by exposure, triages deductions, and applies cash automatically.

The AR challenge in distribution

Distributors carry hundreds or thousands of customers on credit terms, with thin margins that make every aged invoice and every unrecovered deduction matter. Follow-up has to be constant and prioritized, but there’s rarely enough collections staff to cover the whole book.

On the cash side, payments arrive in volume with messy remittance, so cash application lags and the aging report drifts out of date.

What Welldun does for distributors

Welldun works the entire queue by exposure — biggest and oldest balances first — following up across channels on every account without anyone triaging the list. It recognizes short-pays and routes deductions for resolution, and segments customers by risk so the cadence fits each relationship.

Incoming payments are matched to the right invoices automatically, keeping the ledger accurate even at high volume.

The outcome

More of the book gets worked, deductions stop leaking margin, and DSO falls — all without scaling the collections team in step with the customer count.

Frequently asked questions

Can Welldun handle deductions and short-payments?

Yes. When a payment doesn't fully clear an invoice, Welldun flags the shortfall as a deduction, requests supporting detail, and routes it for resolution rather than letting it quietly age into bad debt.
