April 2017 Monthly Meeting
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Pacific
Leading organizations are implementing AR best practices to help optimize their cash flow and increase the speed at which they get paid. See how automating every piece of your invoice-to-cash process; from the adoption of electronic invoicing & payment channels, to using intelligent cash application software, and implementing Same Day ACH transfers can dramatically increase flexibility, efficiency, and modernize the payment system. Finally, learn why over 79% of B2B companies are transitioning from paper to electronic payments and about how 32% of Same Day ACH transactions being used are for B2B payments.
