Introducing Collect-It: Automated Collections for MAS 500!

In a slow economy, optimizing cash flow is critical to ensuring the continuing health of your business. Stay on top of your customers’ outstanding invoices and minimize loss with Blytheco’s Collect-It: Automated Collections for MAS 500!

Collect-It is Blytheco's newest offering for Sage MAS 500 users...this FREE of charge interface provides a efficient, cost-effective way to automate your collections efforts, using existing data from your MAS 500 Accounts Receivable system. With a few simple setup options, you are ready to upload the outstanding invoice and customer information that you choose, sending it automatically to GreenFlag™ Profit Recovery by Transworld Systems, an innovative, web-based collections management service. GreenFlag Profit Recovery's automated system then makes regular contact with your customers until payment is received or you are satisfied.

Collect-It scans your Receivables data in MAS 500 for the parameters that you define (number of days past due, minimum amount to collect, and more), and automatically creates a file for transmission to GreenFlag Profit Recovery. You can choose the message style for GreenFlag Profit Recovery's campaign ("diplomatic" or "intensive"). GreenFlag Profit Recovery sends communications to your customers via US mail from the appropriate local office (GreenFlag Profit Recovery has over 120 national offices). Recovered funds are mailed directly to you. GreenFlag Profit Recovery does not charge a percentage, and its per account fees average $10. You can then update GreenFlag Profit Recovery with payments received, and GreenFlag Profit Recovery’s system removes paid customers from their communications.

With Collect-It, the FREE interface to MAS 500, and GreenFlag Profit Recovery, whose flat per-account fee averages $10, Blytheco offers a risk-free solution for a time-consuming problem.

Industry Solutions Focus: Bar Coding

We're all familiar with bar codes; they are on virtually every product we purchase. Those machine-readable black and white lines are part of our consumer landscape, enabling the quick transfer of transaction data and keeping the wheels of commerce turning smoothly.

Businesses of all sizes can benefit from the use of bar codes to sell, purchase, ship, store, and track products. Why use bar coding on your transaction-related documents and labels? It saves time and improves inventory accuracy and warehouse efficiency. Handheld barcode scanners are easy to use and durable enough for the warehouse.

Bar coding is a relatively inexpensive way to gain significant efficiency benefits in your distribution or manufacturing process. Bar coding can interface to component solutions such as EDI and shipping software, and customized labels can be created to further streamline operations.

If you are ready to take advantage of the benefits of bar coding to streamline your distribution or manufacturing operations, we welcome the opportunity to work with you. Blytheco's experts have implemented hundreds of bar code solutions at client sites, and are able to translate your unique needs and processes into easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain systems.

We can assist you with creating a bar coding implementation plan that addresses the various components you require, including:

Workflow analysis
Batch processing vs. radio-frequency transmission
Serialized or lot tracking needs
Shipping
Label design for inbound and outbound product
EDI integration
And much more
