The Dangerous Myth of 'Safe' Long-Term Dealer Credit

Wholesale businesses often treat longstanding dealer relationships casually. When debts age past 90 days without formal payment plans, the probability of complete default rises above 40%.

Core Problem Factors

  • Without aging bucket visibility, management only looks at total debt rather than overdue maturity.
  • Automated credit lockouts remove emotional bias from sales dispatch decisions.

Credit Control Breakdowns

How dealers stretch supplier terms.

The Rolling Check Loophole

Dealers handing post-dated checks that bounce while continuing to receive new shipments.

Commercial Impact: Exposure balloons while recovery stalls.

Enforcing Hard Credit Limits and Aging Bucket Lockouts

XpertPOS stops orders from posting if the dealer has invoices overdue by more than X days.

Automated Aging Classification

Balances automatically categorize into Current, 1-30 Days, 31-60 Days, 61-90 Days, and 90+ Days.

Managing an Over-Limit Dealer

The 3-stage escalation.

01

Order Enters Lockout

Dealer with Rs. 500k limit places Rs. 200k order with Rs. 450k outstanding. System blocks dispatch.

Outcome: No shipment without director review.
