Getting the full potential of Credit Managers
The experience and expertise of finance professionals often goes to waste due to the necessity to perform repetitive and time-consuming manual tasks within the AR function. Not only is invoicing time-consuming and urgent: it is also prone to errors when it relies on a complicated arrangement of spreadsheets, software systems and the basic ‘copy and paste’ function. This breeds further inefficiencies by causing invoice queries and complaints that add to the workload. All this squeezes out time to apply the credit manager’s professional skills to credit risk analysis, trend identification, assessment and intervention.
Create more time for your professional skills
The automation of routine tasks such as creating and sending invoices has a threefold impact: it increases accuracy, efficiency, and accountability.
How often these days do you handwrite and post a letter when emails the text messages are instant? Getting from invoice to cash without eInvoicing automation is like that: it is quaint, but it is not smart.
Accuracy
A true eInvoicing platform generates accurate invoices automatically from order data and sends them with all the relevant associated documents such as proof of delivery. This leads to fewer queries and disputes. As the invoices can be self-served in secure portals, it eliminates entirely the need to supply copy invoice requests on-demand to customers claiming their invoice cannot be paid because it is missing
Accountability
With invoices available 24/7, online customers have to be more accountable when they do not pay. Your AR team gets to see exactly when they accessed or downloaded the invoice, so they can no longer hide behind excuses.
Additional data points – date, time and name of the person who viewed, downloaded or paid an invoice, provides a breakdown of the path to payment and is instantly available for modelling and analysis.
Over time patterns can be detected, and interventions suggested to accelerate the route to payment.
Efficiency
The benefits of eInvoicing will help your team win back time for important tasks, including customer relations and analysis or identification of root cause issues such as systematic delivery failures for a virtuous circle of improvements that lead to more efficiency.
With the barriers to payment removed, cash can flow more quickly, making your invoice to cash processes ascend towards peak efficiency.
