Customer story · English wine producer

Automated collections, relationships intact.

After a NetSuite Premium Manufacturing implementation and WMS rollout, Gusbourne turned to our Dunning Module to take the strain out of credit control.

01 / Customer snapshot

Award-winning English wine.

Since planting its first vines in 2004, Gusbourne has pursued a single-estate vision across 90 hectares in Kent and West Sussex.

Its low-intervention, sustainable approach includes hand-picking and traditional-method production. Its debut 2006 vintages won acclaim, and Gusbourne is the only three-time winner of the IWSC English Wine Producer of the Year.

02 / The challenge

Chasing payments was taking over.

  • Finance spent countless hours manually chasing unpaid invoices
  • Customer holds had to be toggled to complete sales
  • Uncomfortable conversations with valued clients
  • A process that was time-consuming, inconsistent and increasingly unsustainable
03 / The solution

Our Dunning Module, tailored to Gusbourne.

After Web Control delivered NetSuite Premium Manufacturing and a Phase 2 WMS rollout, Gusbourne returned for a tailored demonstration and implementation of our custom Dunning Module.

Implementation highlights

  • Automated dunning cycles with custom workflows
  • Branded email templates tailored to Gusbourne
  • Internal reminders and reporting
  • A centralised dashboard for real-time visibility
  • Intelligent customer-hold logic supporting seamless sales
  • Flexible exclusions for key accounts and sensitive relationships
04 / The results

Less chasing, more control.

  • Less manual effort, better customer experience and greater efficiency
  • Significant finance time savings and more consistent outreach
  • Better visibility of outstanding balances and follow-up actions
  • Streamlined internal workflows and less friction

Looking ahead

A custom Alcohol Duty calculator and tailored reporting now support compliance and financial accuracy.

In their words
Dunning Module

The process of chasing payments has become far less time-consuming, while giving us complete control over individual customer accounts. Since adopting the system, our debtor days have reduced significantly, leading to a marked improvement in cash flow.
