Overview
In a new research report, Improving Receivables Management: Ignore at Your Own Peril, Mercator Advisory Group discusses the importance of receivables technology investment, the latest trends, and vendors driving change in the space. Digital technology adoption is creating opportunities for banks and their clients to find more effective methods to improve collections cash flow through payments processing efficiencies.
"Of the three cash conversion cycle components with an impact on working capital, the average collection period, ACP, is a more difficult lever for financial managers to pull than changing either inventory conversion time frames or days payables due (DPD) because it is highly dependent on buyer behavior, which can be influenced to varying degrees but not controlled,” commented Steve Murphy, Director of Mercator Advisory Group’s Commercial and Enterprise Payments Advisory Service and author of the report. “But the choices around the types of technology utilized in reducing ACP are controllable. It should be considered a strategic effort involving actions and systems capabilities designed for long-term cash management effectiveness.”
The report is 16 pages long and contains 5 exhibits.
