AR & Billing Escalation Portal
Internal Finance operations portal that standardizes Accounts Receivable and Billing escalations — capturing structured context, notifying the right teams and closing the loop with every requester.
01 — Business challenge
Billing escalations arrive through scattered channels
Billing-related queries reach Finance through emails, chat messages and ad-hoc requests — causing delays, duplicates and lost visibility. With no structured intake, AR teams chase incomplete context, duplicate tickets and miss SLA on real customer issues.

Escalation Portal
Finance users submit standardized Accounts Receivable and Billing escalations through a structured portal, ensuring every request captures the required business information — submitter identity, company, invoice number and issue detail — before reaching the operations team.
Portal Design
The form guides users through a consistent escalation process with conditional logic that adapts to whether the submitter is a Customer or an Internal Team member — reducing incomplete requests and standardizing information collected across Billing and Accounts Receivable teams.
Automated Confirmation
Once an escalation is submitted, an automatic confirmation email acknowledges receipt, provides visibility to the requester and confirms that the Finance team has received the request — closing the loop and setting clear expectations.
Invoice Self-Service
Customers can raise billing questions or dispute invoices directly from the invoice they receive. A single click opens the escalation form, automatically notifying the Billing and Accounts Receivable team and creating a structured request without requiring a manual email.
