Revamping Accounts Receivable Processes for B2B Companies

For many B2B businesses, traditional payment methods like paper checks and manual reconciliations continue to hinder efficiency, even when utilizing modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. In the latest episode of the Driven by DCKAP podcast, John Perez, the CEO of Unified A/R, shares expert insights on how B2B firms are benefiting from automating their accounts receivable processes and integrating them seamlessly with Epicor Prophet 21 (P21).

The Challenge of Payment Delays

Despite advancements in technology, B2B companies often find themselves struggling with payment delays. These issues often stem from legacy habits that have taken hold over the years. "Accounts receivable is frequently viewed as a set-and-forget part of business infrastructure," says Perez. By overlooking the efficiencies that can be gained from questioning these outdated practices, companies miss out on significant savings and better cash flow.

When organizations automate invoicing and synchronize payment applications with their ERP systems, they not only reduce the time spent on reconciliations but also improve the overall cash flow. With a renewed focus on these processes, companies can set a course toward financial stability and growth.

Making Small Adjustments for Big Gains

Even minor tweaks to the accounts receivable workflow can result in substantial improvements. Automating invoices or enabling card and ACH payments that come with surcharge visibility can significantly streamline the payment process. Such adjustments lessen the load on internal teams and can expedite the time it takes to convert invoices into actual cash, bringing about a positive impact on the overall financial health of the business.

Integration with Epicor P21

The podcast highlights not only the integration of accounts receivable automation with Epicor P21 but also presents broader optimization possibilities within well-established ERP systems. DCKAP is recognized for its expertise in enhancing the ERP environments of P21 users. Their flagship product, DCKAP Integrator, enables seamless connections between Epicor P21 and a variety of essential operational platforms like e-commerce systems, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and warehouse management solutions. This facilitates streamlined operations and provides greater visibility across various business functions.

B2B Companies Need Simplicity

B2B firms are looking for uncomplicated solutions that don’t complicate their IT landscape. Organizations are eager for fast deployment, effective ERP integration, and easier payment systems that help them get paid in a timely manner. With Unified A/R and DCKAP providing the tools to achieve such simplicity, businesses can navigate the complexities of payment transactions with greater ease.

Conclusion: A Call to Action

For B2B companies grappling with uncertain payment timelines, insights from the podcast serve as a vital reminder. By adopting modern practices in accounts receivable and focusing on removing friction from payment processes, companies can realize better cash flow without necessarily overhauling their existing ERP systems. The conversation encourages businesses to reassess their approaches, emphasizing the significant benefits of streamlined accounts receivable practices.
