In brief
What is receivables management?
Receivables management starts with an overview of outstanding invoices. When outsourcing to incaseof.law, you hand over eligible overdue claims for processing. Your team remains responsible for accurate data, supporting documents and reporting direct payments. The platform helps you track submitted cases; it does not replace your accounting.
Service scope and requirements: terms, sections I–III.
For a single case, submit a claim. For smaller teams, see debt collection for SMEs.
A process with clear responsibilities
During collection
Track the case number and status in the portal. Report direct payments, new objections and changed contact details promptly. An integration does not replace these duties.
After completion
Reconcile actual payments, costs and remaining balances. Measure your cases by submission period and outcome rather than applying a general success rate to each new claim.
An API integration needs agreed required fields, unique invoice and case identifiers, error handling and payment updates. The enterprise service is the starting point for this discussion.
What the study means for your receivables
The register study reports EUR 194.9 billion in “receivables and other assets” across the companies analysed. This is neither a measure of trade invoices alone nor a measure of overdue balances. Your own process additionally needs due dates, ageing, payments and objections.
The data and methods distinguish register results from model assumptions. The study provides context, not a forecast of recoveries for your business.
In-house or outsourced
Send reminders yourself or outsource receivables management?
A direct comparison: the in-house reminder process against outsourced receivables management by incaseof.law.
| Criterion | In-house reminder process | Outsourced to incaseof.law |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | Ties up your team with follow-ups, deadlines and phone calls. | incaseof.law handles the case; your team provides evidence and reports changes. |
| Legal enforcement | In practice it usually ends with the final reminder. | Through to the court title and enforcement. |
| Costs for you | Internal staff and time costs stay with you. | The default costs are borne by the defaulting debtor. |
| What reaches your account | The claim, provided the customer pays in the end. | 100% of the claim, paid out without deductions. |
| Licence and authority | No special legal standing towards the debtor. | Debt collection institute licensed in AT, registered in DE. |
| Success rate | Varies widely, often the claim stays open. | The outcome depends on evidence, objections and the debtor’s ability to pay. Successful recovery is not guaranteed. |

What does receivables management cost?
For you as the creditor, 100% of your principal claim stays with you. The costs caused by the payment default are borne by the defaulting debtor, not by you. incaseof.law deducts no share of your claim.
See debt collection costs in detailCommon concerns
What makes companies hesitate before outsourcing.
“We handle this in-house.”
That costs your team time and energy, without the enforcement power of a licensed debt collection institute. incaseof.law takes over the whole route through to enforcement, while your team looks after the business.
“I do not want to strain my customer relationship.”
The tone stays factual and professional. Most cases are settled out of court, because a demand from a licensed institute is taken seriously, without you having to send reminders yourself.
“Is it worth it for small amounts?”
Yes. Because the debtor bears the default costs, your claim stays undiminished. There is no minimum volume and engagement under the terms, you hand over exactly the invoices that are open.
What happens next: start debt collection directly, see how the process works step by step, or read what to do when a customer is not paying or an invoice stays unpaid.
What our clients say
From conflicting goals to seamless cooperation.
After I saw the incaseof.law demo, I cancelled the contract with our previous debt collection provider straight away. We settled the first two five-figure claims within a few days. After that we connected directly to incaseof.law via REST API.
