Collaborative Accounts Receivable

SSON’s 2022 AR Pulse Check survey of 103 Shared Services and Outsourcing (SSO), Global Business Services (GBS), and Finance leaders reveals that AR teams are struggling to reduce manual administration and streamline customer contact.While 50% are investing in cloud, approximately 85% of respondents are still
manually matching payments with remittance and another 87% identified phone or email as the primary customer contact method.

Regardless of investment in cloud solutions, there’s a disconnect between customer needs and the business processes set-up to support AR. To bridge the gap, what’s needed is a platform that reduces manual processes to improve cash flow and improve customer collection.
