The Challenge: Slow Collections and Manual Processes

The enterprise client was struggling with a fragmented order-to-cash process that relied heavily on manual intervention, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. This created significant challenges:

High Days Sales Outstanding

DSO was significantly above industry benchmarks, with payments often delayed due to late invoicing, missed follow-ups, and manual collection processes.

Invoice Errors and Disputes

Manual data entry led to frequent invoice errors, causing customer disputes and further delaying payments while issues were investigated and resolved.

Manual Cash Application

Matching incoming payments to invoices was entirely manual, consuming significant staff time and delaying accurate accounts receivable reporting.

Poor Visibility

Leadership lacked real-time visibility into cash flow, ageing receivables, and collection performance, making forecasting unreliable.

The finance team needed a comprehensive solution that would automate the entire O2C cycle while integrating seamlessly with their existing ERP system.

The Solution: End-to-End O2C Automation

Prime AI Solutions implemented a comprehensive order-to-cash automation solution that transformed every stage of the process from order entry through cash collection.

Automated Credit Management

Intelligent credit scoring and automated credit limit management ensure orders are approved quickly while managing risk. Real-time credit checks and automated holds prevent orders exceeding approved limits.

Touchless Invoice Processing

Invoices are generated automatically upon order fulfilment, with data pulled directly from the ERP system. Electronic delivery ensures invoices reach customers immediately, eliminating postal delays.

Intelligent Collections

AI-powered dunning workflows automatically prioritise collection efforts based on customer behaviour, invoice value, and payment history. Automated reminders are sent at optimal times to maximise response rates.

Automated Cash Application

Machine learning algorithms automatically match incoming payments to open invoices with high accuracy. Exception handling workflows route unmatched payments for quick manual resolution.

The Results: Transformed Cash Collection

The O2C automation implementation delivered measurable improvements across all key metrics:

Reduced DSO

Days Sales Outstanding dropped significantly as automated invoicing and intelligent collections accelerated the payment cycle. Cash is now collected weeks faster than before.

Near-Zero Invoice Errors

Automated invoice generation from ERP data eliminated manual entry errors. Customer disputes related to invoice accuracy dropped dramatically.

Staff Efficiency

The AR team now focuses on exception handling and strategic activities rather than manual data entry and payment matching, improving job satisfaction and output.

Real-Time Visibility

Leadership now has live dashboards showing cash position, ageing analysis, collection performance, and cash flow forecasts, enabling proactive management.
