Case Study: OVRSEA reduces DSO and automates AR with Upflow

How OVRSEA automated 70% of AR actions and reduced DSO with a team of one

OVRSEA, a freight forwarder in the transport and logistics industry, was facing cash flow pressure and rising Days Sales Outstanding as shipping costs surged and invoice volumes increased. With Lolla Di Vico managing accounts receivable almost alone, the company needed a better way to collect payments faster while keeping customer relationships positive, so it turned to Upflow.

Using Upflow’s automated accounts receivable and cash collection platform, integrated with OVRSEA’s Atlas system via API, OVRSEA automated 70% of collection actions, improved email follow-ups, and prioritized higher-value invoices with data-driven recovery plans. The results were strong: average DSO fell to 34 days, best-month DSO dropped from 38 to 27 days, CEI averaged 75%, and OVRSEA avoided hiring additional AR headcount while saving an estimated €70,000 in cash flow impact.
