The Evolution of Receivables: An Action Plan for AR Transformation

For years, accounts receivable (AR) was thought of as little more than a back-office department reserved for largely transactional, manual and reactive tasks. Today, it’s safe to say the uncertainties of the current era have changed things — propelling AR into a strategic, value-driving operation where effective cash control is absolutely essential for maintaining a resilient business.     

Join Esker’s Sarah Eichler as she details the evolution of AR, exploring the downfalls of traditional processes and how AI-powered automation solutions can be used to achieve as number of game-changing benefits, including: 

• Optimized cash collection & working capital
• Improved decision making via AI-driven predictive analytics
• Better collaboration between departments & key stakeholders
• Improved customer communication & overall CX
