Invoice Management CEO “how can we improve our bottom line?”
CFO “I have limited visibility into my accounts payables related liabilities.” Financial Analyst
“Use of cash discounts is
low, cost of capital is
rising.”
Supplier “Doing business with that company is difficult as they are unable to tell when they pay their invoices.”
Accounting “We cannot say which invoices we have received across different departments and we have no control over the time-to-payment.”
Purchaser “We could lower the cost of goods if we could make systematic use of cash discounts.”
Accounts Payables “We spend more than 50% of our time responding to calls and emails from suppliers requesting state of invoice or complaining about late payment.”
Is this organization prepared to:
Increase process efficiency
Reduce finance operating costs
Make use of cash discounts
