ORDER-TO-CASH AUTOMATION: What’s in it for Accounts Receivable Leaders?

AR leaders are under tremendous pressure to help their business manage its cash:

• Reduce Day’s Sales Outstanding (DSO)
• Decrease write-offs and unauthorized customer deductions
• Increase control over working capital
• Improve the accuracy of cash forecasting

One way that AR leaders can achieve these goals is by lobbying their business to rethink its order-to-cash (O2C) cycle – the various processes that occur from the time an order is received to when a payment and the associated invoice are reconciled.

Inefficient and ineffective O2C processes have implications on an organization’s cash flow that cannot be underestimated – and cannot be left unchecked in today’s tough business environment.

IOFM’s latest white paper details the cash-flow benefits of automating the O2C process and lays out five ways that O2C automation can help businesses navigate a challenging economy.
