IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE & OPTIMISING PRODUCTIVITY & CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT

FASTER INVOICE PROCESSING FROM 9 WORKING DAYS TO 3

Fujifilm Business Innovation Corporation, a leading provider in offering smarter ways to work with document-related solutions and services, was manually processing an average of 32,500 invoices each month, making billing and invoice tracking tedious and time consuming.Sending out monthly invoices took up to nine working days. This translated into cash flow issues for the company, as changes in customers’ addresses were not always updated and invoices wrongly addressed, resulting in late payments.

100% HEIGHTENED VISIBILITY INTO PROCESSES & PRODUCTIVITY METRIC WITH CUSTOMISABLE DASHBOARD

Fujifilm Business Innovation Corporation pursued an overhaul of its invoicing system as part of its digital business transformation. The objectives were to speed up invoice processing, gain visibility over the billing process and reduce the company’s reliance on paper, dovetailing with its green corporate goals to reduce its carbon footprint.

HIGH DELIVERY RATE WITH 93% SUCCESSFUL DIGITAL INVOICE DELIVERY 

The hassle of manual invoice processing at Fujifilm Business Innovation Corporation could only be eliminated with an intelligent system that could automatically format, deliver and archive invoices. Esker’s Accounts Receivable Solution addressed these needs. Esker combines a set of technologies to automate the delivery and archiving of customer invoices via any media (e.g., paper, e-invoices, EDI, etc.) — all while providing real-time visibility into invoice delivery status.

INCREASED INVOICE TRACKING & CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT THANKS TO ESKER'S CUTOMER PORTAL

 Invoice copies and credit notes are available on Esker’s customer portal via a user-friendly online dashboard, accessible 24/7.
