Amid persistent economic challenges, Australian businesses must address inefficiencies in their cash conversion cycle to maintain financial health and resilience. Enhancing this cycle leads to better cash flow management, reduced risks, and sufficient working capital. Esker's global cloud platform integrates with ERP systems, automating the Invoice-to-Cash (I2C) and Source-to-Pay (S2P) cycles using AI-driven technologies. This automation relieves finance teams of routine duties, boosts efficiency, and supports skill development. Esker's I2C automation reduces DSO, improves cash flow, and optimises cash collection with AI predictions and risk analysis, while its S2P suite streamlines procurement, enforces compliance, and enhances supplier relationships, aligning finance and procurement for improved financial outcomes.
