Order to cash process

Make ordering, delivering and paying for goods faster, more accurate and cheaper

Retailers and their suppliers do business more effectively when the order to cash process is run efficiently. We’ve designed a solution that will reduce errors and cut costs for you and your customers.

What is the order to cash process?

It’s the process where goods are:

  • ordered 
  • delivered and received 
  • invoiced and paid for

Whether you're receiving or delivering the goods, this process is critical for almost all businesses. Companies of all sizes are reaping the rewards of automating their entire order to cash process by using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and GS1 eCom standards.

What are the benefits of automating the order to cash process?

It replaces paper based orders, delivery notes, invoices and other vital documents with GS1 industry standard electronic messages. You’ll benefit from:

  • instant delivery and receipt of your messages 
  • no errors caused by manually re-keying in data 
  • lower costs due to fewer manual processes

And best of all, by automating your order to cash process you can automatically reconcile orders, deliveries and invoices – so you’ll eliminate more time consuming and error prone processes.
