Why This Matters

What It Is

Real-time executive dashboards tracking portfolio-level credit risk including concentration analysis, early warning indicators, industry exposure, and ML-powered forecasts of bad debt and DSO trends.

Current State

(Traditional)

1. Credit manager reviews AR aging report monthly in Excel. 2. Identifies top 10 past-due accounts, discusses with collections team. 3. Quarterly presentation to CFO on credit metrics: total AR, DSO, bad debt write-offs. 4. No portfolio-level risk analysis (concentration risk, industry exposure). 5. Credit issues discovered reactively: major customer defaults come as surprise. 6. No early warning system: risks identified only after accounts already delinquent.

Characteristics

• ERP Systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle)
• Real-time Monitoring Tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)
• Custom-built Dashboards
• Spreadsheets (e.g., Excel)

Pain Points

⚠ Data fragmentation and reliance on manual processes leading to inefficiencies.
⚠ Delayed visibility into portfolio performance due to traditional reporting cycles.
⚠ Complexity in conducting comprehensive risk assessments across diverse asset classes.
⚠ Regulatory compliance burdens complicating the monitoring process.
⚠ Limited proactive risk mitigation due to lack of real-time monitoring.
⚠ Inability to conduct real-time analysis due to reliance on static reporting.
⚠ Challenges in integrating data from multiple sources leading to potential inaccuracies.
⚠ Resource-intensive manual processes that increase the risk of errors.
⚠ Difficulty in maintaining compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.

Future State

(Agentic)

1. Risk Monitoring Agent generates real-time executive dashboard tracking: total credit exposure, AR aging, DSO trends, bad debt forecast, concentration risk (top 10 customers), industry exposure. 2. Agent monitors leading indicators continuously: increasing DSO, declining payment compliance, rising dispute rates, credit score deteriorations, industry distress signals. 3. Agent provides 60-90 day advance warning alerts: 'Manufacturing sector exposure up 15% this quarter, industry distress signals (3 major bankruptcies), recommend diversification'. 4. Agent performs stress testing: simulates impact of major customer defaults, economic downturns, industry shocks on portfolio. 5. Agent recommends risk mitigation actions: credit insurance for high-exposure accounts, factoring for cash flow, tighter terms for high-risk industry segments. 6. Agent generates executive summary: top risks, recommended actions, forecasted bad debt, DSO trajectory.

Characteristics

• AR aging and credit exposure data by customer
• Customer credit scores and D&B monitoring alerts
• Payment trends (DSO, compliance rates, dispute volume)
• Industry risk scores and distress indicators
• News and events (bankruptcies, layoffs, M&A in key industries)
• Concentration risk: top customers as % of total AR
• Historical bad debt write-offs and patterns
• Economic indicators and forecasts

Benefits

✓ Real-time portfolio risk visibility vs monthly/quarterly lag
