Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Profitline was contracted to optimize and operate the company's revenue cycle through an outsourcing/operations partner/bpo model, supported by business intelligence and data analytics solutions. The second most important reason for hiring Profitline was to achieve the complete automation and digitization of financial and operational processes related to portfolio management. 
This allowed for the standardization of workflows, the elimination of repetitive manual tasks, and a reduction in operational errors, ensuring greater traceability and control of information. Through technological platforms and data analytics, Profitline enabled a more agile, scalable process based on real-time information, improving internal efficiency and strengthening decision-making. 
The scope included the comprehensive management of the Order-to-Cash (O2C) process, with an emphasis on portfolio control, payment processing, and financial visibility.

Profitline took over the daily operations of invoice tracking, collections management, bank reconciliation, and handling of issues and disputes, integrating these processes with the company's existing financial systems. Automated workflows were implemented to reduce manual tasks, improve data accuracy, and accelerate collections.

Additionally, dashboards were designed and implemented in Power BI, enabling real-time visualization of key indicators such as DSO, portfolio aging, cash flow, and customer payment behavior. These tools facilitated financial decision-making, early risk identification, and continuous improvement of revenue cycle performance.

The project also included service governance schemes, KPI monitoring, and continuous improvement plans to ensure compliance, scalability, and sustainable results.
