Do better business by arming your Accounts Receivables Management (ARM) team with better insight, processes and support
Internal teams often lack the necessary expertise and analytical insight to best manage accounts receivables (particularly lower-performing recoveries), resulting in delayed payments and lower collection rates.
In-house teams may not effectively handle the ups and downs in accounts volume. During times of high receivables, the team could be overwhelmed, while during slower periods, its capacity is underutilized.
Without up-to-date accounting software, automation tools, technology, and customer communication solutions, internal teams can struggle to streamline accounts resolution processes.
Internal teams often face interpersonal challenges when dealing with late payments or pursuing debt recovery, potentially affecting customer relationships and collection effectiveness.
Liquidity constraints
Persistent debtor payment problems
Increasing balances of long outstanding accounts
Reduced internal operational capacity due to:
Increasing staffing costs while constantly needing more accounting staff
The challenge of keeping up with evolving analytics, tools and communications to implement productive strategies

Nimble Group has taken the initiative to establish an Early Childhood Development Centre, which began operating in January 2019 in Woodstock, Cape Town. The centre operates under the guidance of Peak child, and while accessible to the public, primarily serves as a subsidized preschool for the children of Nimble staff.
Peak Child aims to equip children with the best possible foundation for life by providing affordable, high-quality preschools in close proximity to workplaces, catering to the needs of emerging middle-class parents. Since its inception, Peak Child has focused on collaborating with socially responsible employers to support their staff beyond conventional employee benefits.
Peak Child offers comprehensive programmes for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Through partnerships with prominent educational experts and local primary schools they ensure that children transitioning from Peak Child are socially, academically, and physically prepared for admission to any of Cape Town’s leading primary schools. Peak Child currently operates three schools, including Peak Child Nimble.
Nimble has made a significant investment in this project, with plans to replicate this model close to its Johannesburg offices.
The Altius Et Latius Trust is a school education initiative aimed at providing bursaries to historically disadvantaged students, enabling their attendance at top schools in Cape Town.
The primary goal of the trust is to promote equitable access to high-quality public education, fostering lasting transformation. Their objective is to support fifty talented learners in gaining admission to high-performing schools.
Nimble Group continually makes a substantial impact on this crucial initiative by providing essential resources for additional student support, such as tutoring, funding for school events or excursions, sporting equipment and more.
