We use this to send out Open invoice statements to dealers every 10 days as well as month end statements. We see an increase in payments after we sent the open invoice report out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lockstep?

Highly customizable software solution that should work with almost any business model. Also very responsive/knowledgeable customer service and onboarding support; top-in-class sales and support team. They even worked with us to create the Intacct integration as well. Unfortunately, we are only really using the automated email workflow as that was the most pressing need for us and as you can see below, the rest of the product wasn't up to speed with our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockstep?

The hosted version of this product is fairly slow which makes the email workflow basically useless - workflow is about 4x slower than just using gmail so we haven't been able to use any of the email or event tracking or team management features. Their analytics are mostly useless too as they are not flexible and frankly too ugly to share with anyone except junior staff. Probably lower 5% of all UI/UX that exists in the market today (think 2003 salesforce). Also, they could really use a re-occurring payment feature for our customers' payment portal. However, what can't be figured out intuitively through design is easily handled by their very competent support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockstep:

If you want to go with an established player to help improve collections, Anytime Collect is the solution for you. If you are interested in working with startups who may be more innovative in terms of ease of use and features, there are a few other players out there worth looking into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockstep solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sending reminder emails to customers is very tedious and manual without software like Anytime Collect. After about 100 invoices a month, you are certainly losing money by not investing in collections management software. We are using the automated emails that include links to invoices with payment portal. Through revamping our collections policies and practices, including using ATC, we cut our DSO in half, with our best DSO only a couple days beyond our average terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lindsey O'Brien of Lockstep

As a follow up: The workflow issue that was mentioned here was simply a setting that needed to be changed. Once this issue was brought up to the Anytime Collect team, the setting change was made and email, event tracking and team management features were able to be used properly.

What do you like best about Lockstep?

I love that Anytime Collect was able to filter out the accounts that I need to focus on and I was able to set up reports and emails to run automatically. Was definitely a big time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockstep?

It's not necessarily a dislike but it took some time getting to know the system and how it works. I've been using it for almost a year now and I know there are still SO many things that I don't realize it can do. I've just been focusing on the stuff that I have learned and am slowly branching out and exploring all the other possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockstep:

So much information at your fingertips and you can sort and rearrange it so you can see what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockstep solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able to save tons of time with the automatic emailing. I also love that I'm able to leave notes on each account and that the system keeps all correspondence. It's easy to open up the program and know exactly where you need to start that day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lockstep?

I like that I can set up Credit Classes to send out mass email blasts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockstep?

I don't like the customer view, the amount of locations I have to use to set up a credit class, and the fact that the verbiage is confusing. There are a TON of options to select from when setting up a credit class which can be great but is not user friendly. I needed to have someone walk me through it multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lockstep:

Make it more user friendly. Its a lot of great features but much too difficult for someone to jump in and start using it. Maybe create some tutorials so we can help ourselves before having to schedule time with a support agent. the Support Team is GREAT, but I hate to waste their time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockstep solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am making sure all of my customers are being touched via email at very specific times in their invoices history which is great. Most people dont realize they are missing invoices until it is very late and this helps remove that issue. They can see all their invoices in one spot and that is very convenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAAS model is slow at times and the outbound emails are not using our domain email extension. This causes concern with some customers that it is spam until they confirm with our Accounting department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
