Faster business payment: Streamlining your Order-to-Cash workflow
Every business relies on a steady cash flow to sustain operations. For B2B companies in particular, ensuring money moves efficiently from order placement to invoice receipt is critical. However, this order-to-cash process remains complex and time-consuming for many businesses in emerging markets today.
Luckily, technology now makes it possible to streamline the often overlooked order-to-cash cycle like never before. With Hyphen’s configurable workflows and integrated platform approach, companies of any size can gain control over this key business function.
What is the Order-to-Cash Process?
The order-to-cash process encompasses all activities from securing an order to getting paid. It typically involves order entry, fulfillment, invoicing, collection, and cash application.
Coordinating these stages with multiple internal teams and external customers takes coordination. Any bottlenecks in the process negatively impact a company’s financial health through delayed cash flows and unsatisfied customers.
Why Your B2B Business Needs Order-to-Cash transformation
Slow payment cycles tie up working capital that could fuel business growth. An average extended receivables period costs time and money that adds up over the long run.
Hyphen streamlines this process to strengthen customer relationships while freeing up funds for reinvestment. By connecting critical functions, data moves seamlessly to benefit all involved.
For examples, automated cash application is important for a few critcal reasons:
- Proper matching speeds up the order-to-cash cycle by reducing DSO (days sales outstanding).
- Automating the process eliminates manual errors and improves visibility.
- Associated payments can then be easily reported for billing statements, tax purposes, etc.
