AR automation accelerates cash conversion by cutting “touches” and boosting straight-through processing—raising team productivity, data quality, service, and lowering DSO (nearly 80% recoup ROI within 18 months). Start by mapping end-to-end AR data flow with your bank, ERP/fintech, and business units. Clarify: bank data (formats/latency), ERP integration needs, and vendor footprint (consolidate where possible). Next, expose bottlenecks and manual workarounds, embed controls/approvals in digital workflows, and design for scale (new methods, volumes, markets). Aim for one interface to apply cash—no paper, emails, or portal hopping.
