The challenge

  • Unpaid Supply Invoices: Several invoices for packaging materials that had already been supplied remained outstanding.
  • Overdue Commercial Account: The customer’s payment obligations had passed their agreed due dates.
  • Repeated Contact Attempts: The client’s accounts team had already made several attempts to obtain payment.
  • Cash Flow Pressure: The continued delay was affecting the supplier’s ability to maintain predictable cash flow.

Our approach

  • Invoice Review: Taurus reviewed the outstanding invoices and account information provided by the packaging supplier.
  • Contact with the Customer: Our team contacted the debtor directly to discuss the overdue balance and understand the circumstances behind the delayed payment.
  • Clear Communication: We explained the outstanding amount and maintained professional communication throughout the recovery process.
  • Recovery Discussions: Taurus worked with the customer towards an appropriate payment solution.
  • Regular Follow-Up: Our team continued to follow up with the debtor to maintain progress towards settlement of the outstanding balance.

The result

  • Commercial Debt Recovered: Taurus successfully recovered the outstanding debt on behalf of the packaging supplier.
  • Improved Cash Flow: The client received payment for products that had already been supplied.
  • Reduced Administrative Work: The client’s internal team was able to reduce the time spent chasing the overdue customer.
  • Professional Debt Recovery: The account was handled through a structured and professional recovery process.

Background

The customer had received the agreed products but several invoices remained unpaid after their payment deadlines had passed. The supplier’s internal accounts team had made repeated attempts to contact the customer but had not been able to secure payment.

The client wanted to recover the outstanding balance without continuing to dedicate internal resources to chasing the overdue account.

Conclusion

By outsourcing the recovery process to Taurus Collections, the packaging supplier was able to recover its outstanding commercial debt while reducing the pressure on its internal accounts team.

This case demonstrates how B2B debt collection can help suppliers recover overdue invoices and maintain more consistent cash flow when commercial customers fail to pay on time.
