Get things done, get paid, repeat. Isn’t it easy? Picture it: you just provided services or goods, got paid with no delays, and your cash flow is thriving. It is not just a dream scenario. It is your routine, should you implement automation of your Accounts Receivable today. However, outstanding Accounts Receivable are prevalent among businesses of all sizes and nature. However, it doesn’t have to define you or your company. Here are five reasons why automation might change your business for the best. This is your sign to automate your Accounts Receivable management if you need one.
1. Nurture your peace of mind
The toll of accounts receivable on business owners’ mental health is no longer a secret for any of us. According to a study led by Pay.UK in January 2020, 26% of Small or Medium Enterprises (SME) business owners worry about late payments even outside their office hours and report adverse effects on their private life. Furthermore, 17% admit that late payments undermine their confidence in managing their company.
On the other hand, 3 in 5 enterprises across the country are currently waiting on payments from customers, according to new research from Barclays surveying 500 small business owners. That makes business owners so stressed out that 9% of them considered asking for psychological help to cope with their anxieties over being paid late. Kolleno‘s solution offers you more than counselling. It provides you with a compelling solution to take the weight of Accounts Receivable management off your shoulders. Make your work enjoyable again, and leave the payment chasing to technology.
2. Nurture your cash flow and working capital
Automation can help reduce late payments and improve your financial results. The more you wait, the more your ability to collect bills decreases, and so does your revenue. When it comes to Accounts Receivable management, time is of the essence. Research led by the US Census Bureau brought by The Accounting Minute found out that after three months, 26% of invoices are uncollectible. Moreover, from six months, this percentage rises to 70% and to 90% when the invoice is twelve months old.
Unpaid invoices might affect staff salaries, supplies, rent and expenses for day-to-day operations. However, more importantly, it can lead to debt. SMEs tend to struggle the most without credit controllers to chase pending invoices. At the beginning of 2018, B2B invoice provider MarketInvoice revealed delays for more than 62% of invoices issued by UK small and medium enterprises in 2017. It represented over £21 billion of unpaid bills.
Kolleno’s solution provides your business with an intelligent system designed to process customer payments quickly, minimise and deal with late fees, and improve reporting, planning and forecasting.
3. Nurture the future of your company
