Selecting the best AR automation solutions for the Acumatica ERP platform is essential. Choose AR automation software with the must-have features needed to address the pain points of your industry and company. It should be scalable, flexible, cloud-based, and have the reporting and analysis capabilities you will need.

Address Industry Pain Points

COVID-19 radically altered the landscape facing companies. The AR automation software you select needs to address the pain points in the new normal.

  • Customer experience – AR automation is needed to enhance customer experience from onboarding through cash application and credit reviews. It costs less to do what is necessary to retain customers than acquire new ones.
  • Channels of communication – You will need automation software that supports remote work, mobile communications, customized automated email, and an online self-serve portal to communicate easily with customers.
  • Automated AR processes – Credit approval through cash application need to be automated in order to function effectively in the new normal. A mix of manual and automated solutions will detract from customer experience and negatively impact the ability to meet AR goals.

Specific Company Pain Points

  • Collections – Collections depend on frequent customer contact, quickly identifying priorities and customized email reminders. Including collection activity management, automated email, and an online self-serve portal in your AR automation features will improve collections.
  • Resources – If your AR team is stretched thin then you need to select time saving features including: an online self-serve portal, customized automated email, and collections activity management.
  • Resolving disputes – You need to learn about disputes early rather than after a customer takes a deduction. A self-serve online portal with dispute reporting and communication capabilities can facilitate early reporting and quick resolution.

Identify the pain points for your company and industry, and make sure that the features you choose for Acumatica AR automation will ease the pain.
