The Foundation of Effective Collections in a Digital World:
Part 7 Special Arrangements

Special arrangements: Structure support without increasing risk

Extended terms and payment plans can be appropriate—if the risk is
understood and controlled. The original questions still apply: are you
comfortable with the credit risk, how long can you wait, what assurances
can they offer?

Modernise it with technology:

  • Payment plan modules: Build instalment schedules with automated
    reminders, missed-payment triggers, and documentation.

  • Digital approvals: Route non-standard terms through approval
    workflows (credit manager, sales leader, finance), with an audit
    trail.

  • Security and assurance tracking: Record guarantees, deeds,
    PPSR/PPSA registrations, retention rights, or agreed conditions and link
    them to the customer profile.

Outcome: You support the customer while protecting the business.
