The Client
A leading beverages company in the United States
The Challenge
Our client was looking for ways to optimize their payment processes, aiming to enhance financial transparency, reduce costs associated with human intervention, and improve operational efficiency. They needed a reliable technology partner to deliver customized solutions.
The Solution
Gemini Consulting & Services utilized advanced data capture technologies and configurable tools to consolidate payment processing, collections, and customer data onto a unified platform. Collaborating closely with the client's financial team, we thoroughly analyzed their billing procedures, receivables, client relationships, and vendor interactions. This led to the development of a customized technological solution that streamlined payment handling with minimal manual intervention.
The Benefits
Gemini Consulting & Services’ approach significantly improved invoice processing times, reducing turnaround from weeks to mere minutes. By automating Accounts Payable (AP), we ensured invoices were swiftly matched with purchase orders and goods received notes, preventing delays and providing greater predictability in cash flow.
Automating Accounts Receivable (AR) extended operational hours to 24/7, enhancing customer accessibility and boosting the efficiency of revenue collection. Early-stage collections activities, such as automated dunning emails and payment retries, increased successful transactions, reducing revenue loss due to common errors like expired payment methods or address changes.
Automation proved scalable and error-free, eliminating bottlenecks caused by manual processes and enhancing overall productivity. It prevented duplicate payments, optimized vendor discounts through prompt payments, and reduced printing costs with digital archiving solutions. Moreover, automated fraud detection ensured financial integrity and regulatory compliance.
Overall, our automation initiatives cut costs by 50%, empowered real-time analytics for informed decision-making, and seamlessly integrated with existing business systems to enhance vendor relationships and customer service. This transformation not only optimized financial operations but also positioned our client for sustained growth and efficiency in a competitive market landscape.
