Automated Accounts Receivable: How AI Is Replacing Manual Collections in 2026

Standard dunning sequences (automated emails sent at day 3, 7, 14) are effective for forgotten credit card expirations. However, when an invoice sits 30, 60, or 90 days past due, email open rates plummet below 8%.

Manual phone calls have historically been the highest-converting collection channel, but hiring a dedicated AR team costs upwards of $85,000 per collector plus overhead. For mid-market and fast-scaling teams, the math doesn't work.

AgentCollect deploys dedicated voice agents that initiate proactive, empathetic phone outreach. The agent speaks with natural human inflection, listens attentively, answers complex invoice questions, and sends SMS payment links during the call.

Teams using AgentCollect see average Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) drop by 19 days within the first 60 days of deployment.
