How Group 1 Automotive leveled up its shared services department and recovered $5M in aged receivables

Share

Summary

To provide the best service to customers, Group 1 Automotive has a shared services center that centralizes back-office accounting functions. Those functions include processing accounts receivable, accounts payable, billing, inventory, and warranty claims for all retail automotive locations in the United States.

However, the shared services center faced two primary challenges: It was short-staffed and in dire need of process improvement.
