The Problem ⛔
- The client had two disintegrated data sources – the invoice data and the payment receipts. When customers made lumpsum payments, the client had to manually set-off payments received against invoices using the FIFO method.
- This process was tedious, time-consuming and error-prone. There was no as-on-date report that indicated how many invoices were due and how many were settled.
Our Solution ✅
We set up a clear reporting system that streamlined invoices and payments reconciliation by integrating data sources, automated payment allocation against due invoices, and providing as-on-date company and customer wise reports.
Our dashboard had 2 screens –
Billing and Receivables Overview – It provided an overview of billings, payments received and balance due at company and customer level.
Key KPIs
- Total Billings, Total Receipts and Amount Pending till date, Delays and Benchmarks
- Balance pending from the top 7 Customers
- Further drill down to provide detailed monthly reports on cumulative billings and outstanding balances of the selected customer.
Invoices Paid and Unpaid : This view provided in-depth analysis of invoices, lump-sum payments received and how many invoices were set-off against those payments.
Key KPIs:
-
Total Billings, Amount Received and invoices set-off using FIFO method.
-
Payments against specific invoices
- Invoices ageing analysis
Our Impact 🚀
- The time taken to reconcile the invoices and payments received went down from a month to being available on demand.
- Our solution led to a significant positive impact on cash flow by reducing working capital requirements by $600k per annum.
