It is this combination of focus and flexibility that makes Information Solutions a valuable business partner.

The result is an integrated system that connects your business processes on the inside so you can be more efficient on the outside.

Once the automation of the supply chain has been completed the focus will shift to the automation of the financial chain. The demand for end-to-end straight-through processed (STP) payments is inevitable. Companies that are committed to increased profitability must better manage their payables and receivables, so they can improve cash forecasting, participate in investment opportunities, and manage liquidity. STP allows for improved payables and receivables management. The payment process is an area where a company's operations can be streamlined to enhance competitiveness by achieving end-to-end links between a company and its suppliers for payment of goods and services. The goal of receivables management is to reduce days sales outstanding (DSO), a measure of sales to collection time. Sears Holding Co. sends and receives all payments electronically with these 5,000 vendors and avoids the cost and fraud risks that can occur when paying with non-electronic methods. Many companies are finding the benefits of automating their payment reconciliation. At Digital Movers, we trade remittance advice with many Trading Partners via EDI. If you would like to learn more or inquire on whom else you can receive remittance advice from electronically, please contact EC Support. Next article Credit and Debit Adjustments.
