Rachelle Gray, one of our resident Pegasus experts here at The HBP Group, recommends Debtors Letters as a key function, often overlooked by users. “Not many people are aware that the system as standard, even without the credit management module, can create three different levels of debtors Letters that will actually be sent out to your customers based on the level of debt that customer is at. These can be customisable for factors like their employment, and the wording you use based on severity of the letter.”
