Not so long ago, at credit and A/R departments not so far away, finance leaders believed electronic payments would reduce payment processing costs and effort.
Unfortunately, teams who accept electronic payments also receive non-standardized, varied electronic remittance from email, email attachments, websites and EDI. Cash application has succumbed to the Dark Side, overwhelmed by the forces of manual data extraction, payment linking, reconciliation and exception handling. Electronic payments now take longer to process than checks!
However, recent developments have awakened a new hope and enabled credit and A/R leaders to take control and automate processing for more than 90% of electronic payments. The answer was not expensive software or a Death Star-sized IT project but a simple “add-on” technology that works with existing cash application systems.
HighRadius Cash Application Software enables the end-to-end automation of the cash application process that covers major benefits such as AI-enabled data capture for remittances, auto-linking of payments with open invoices, cost-cutting on lockbox fees and easy compatibility with any system due to its ERP-agnostic Saas infrastructure. Apart from the major benefits that it has, there are some key features which can not be missed out, some of them are Email Remittance capture, Discounts and Deductions Handling, Check Remittance Capture, Web Remittance Capture, Invoice Matching, and RDC & Mobile Payments.
