From Reactive to Proactive: Connecting Credit and AR for Better Cash Flow Outcomes
Presented by Serrala, Credit Pusle & CRF
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 – 12:00pm ET
Disconnected credit and AR processes often lead to delayed risk visibility, inefficient collections efforts, and reactive decision-making that impacts cash flow performance.
In this joint webinar, experts from Serrala, a global leader in finance process automation and working capital management solutions, and Credit Pulse, an AI-powered commercial credit management platform delivering predictive credit risk intelligence, will explore how organizations are modernizing credit-to-cash operations through improved collaboration, AI-supported predictive insights, and more proactive receivables strategies.
Why This Matters Now
As finance teams face growing pressure to improve cash flow while navigating economic uncertainty and evolving customer risk, organizations are increasingly looking to predictive insights and AI-supported decision-making to mitigate risks, improve visibility and respond faster across the receivables process.
Key Takeaways
- Common gaps between credit risk management and AR operations
- How proactive visibility supports better cash flow management
- The role of predictive insights and AI-supported decision-making in earlier risk identification
- Strategies for reducing operational silos across finance teams
- Practical approaches to building a more connected credit-to-cash process
Speakers:
Andy Büch, Solutions Evangelist, Invoice to Cash – Serrala
Melanie Albert, Chief Operating Officer – Credit Pulse

Risk on the Horizon: Geographic Winners & Losers, with Uninvestable Cities as a Consequence
Presented by JSI Analytics & CRF
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 – 3:00pm ET
The U. S. economy is diverging by geography as never before.
The Phenomenon – businesses and taxpayers are migrating away from large metro areas in high tax states, in favor of mid-sized metro areas in low tax states. NYC, Chicago, LA, Seattle and dozens of additional legacy metro areas are seeing their tax bases deteriorate at very high rates. Most of these same cities grew their expenses by 40% during Covid, and have struggled to balance budgets since 2024.
The Consequences – property taxes represent 50% to 70% of taxes collected at the local level. Median price property values are stable, while the top quartile is off by 30% from the highs of 2023 in deteriorating metro areas. As a result, as municipalities are forced to cut back departments providing health & human services, education, police & fire, the taxpayer exodus accelerates. As economic activity collapses, operating risk has risen substantially with some national retail outlets citing Y/Y declines of 70% in the most problematic locations. Rising credit risk and risk of fraud align with these same locations. The downward spiral mirrors what was observed in Detroit, which led to its eventual bankruptcy.
Conversely – capital investments provide great insight as to what the future will look like. The U. S. is in the early stages of a manufacturing renaissance, with the build out being concentrated in upper Midwest, down through the South and Southeastern states. The investments in manufacturing and energy production dwarf all previous waves of capex. Inbound taxpayer migrations are paralleling the investment locations.
Within the presentation, we will provide deep insights regarding managing downside risks as a priority. We’ll then shift to an opportunistic posture for capitalizing on what is shaping up to be rapid development and growth in selected areas.

In this webinar, Maggie will share how you can predict the likelihood of a severe late payment on a construction tradeline 61+ days beyond terms, optimize underwriting and align pricing to real risk. With a complete view of your customers, you can make decisions that drive growth and reduce uncertainty.
