Break the Limits of Your Invoice-to-Cash Process

Without cash, businesses fail. Simple.

The Accounts Receivable (AR) function collects cash through the Invoice-to-Cash (I2C) process. It is a process that should be simple. Invoice the customer, wait out the credit terms they have been given (typically 30, 60, or 90 days), receive payment for the outstanding invoice(s), and match that payment to the invoices to close them out in the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). However, as crucial a process as it is and as much a company depends on the money it generates, it is rarely simple. While finance leaders are aware of the process’s importance, historically, it has been highly manual, resource heavy,
and disconnected, with little reason to change.

Cash is the lifeblood of any business. Amid continued uncertainties and rapidly evolving eInvoicing and digital payment mandates, ensuring cash flow confidence and compliance has become vital for treasury activities. Accelerating operational processes is now a critical priority for finance leaders everywhere.

Businesses are adopting innovative solutions to keep pace with evolving markets, shifting regulations, and growing compliance demands.

Embracing digitization transforms AR from a back-office, task-oriented function into an automated, strategic business partner, unlocking new opportunities for enhanced performance.

Outdated, manual workflows are no longer acceptable. There’s a more efficient way of working—and we’ve created it.
