Accounts receivable is one of the largest business assets and the most accessible source of working capital. Yet most businesses fail to manage receivables effectively—resulting in back office inefficiencies, higher Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), and slower cash flow. Every $1 million in sales may potentially cost a business $40,000 annually in interest. Diminish the risk of bad debt write-offs with a more strategic credit and collection approach.

Epicor Cash Collect helps your team optimize credit decisions and resolve invoice disputes faster to unlock cash flow.

If you have not already heard, the Automate Forward Trade Show and Conference are being held virtually this year. It’s one of our favorite conferences and it’s free to attend.

What is Automate Forward?

A week-long event of talks, demos, and exhibits on automation technologies.

From the event organizers – “One thing every industry has in common right now is the need to do more with less. Whether it’s less manpower or tighter budgets, demand is increasing even if resources are not. Automation is the key to not just getting through these difficult times, but to growing during them! With more than 80 speakers reviewing robotics, machine vision, motion control, artificial intelligence, and smart automation technologies, Automate Forward is the event to participate in to learn how to reach and exceed your goals.”

Creating, personalizing, and routing business documents and reports for various internal and external individuals—and meeting their unique needs for delivery, depth of information, and the desired format—can be a challenge, especially if you have to rely on a separate application outside your ERP system. Your customers, suppliers, and internal users all have different reporting and document requirements. Some may need documents e-mailed as an attachment or deposited into a designated folder for FTP delivery. Others may still need printed copies. Information needs vary from customer to supplier, as well as between internal roles.

Imagine what you could do with instant, accurate machine data and process information directly from the machine. Even depth and dimension are within reach with the help of a manufacturing execution system (MES). Medical parts, supply, and equipment manufacturers use MES for real-time production monitoring and analysis to improve throughput, boost quality, and reduce scrap. You can achieve more capacity with the same machines and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)—working more efficiently and profitably. This white paper highlights four ways to boost your performance with the right manufacturing execution system.

The Automotive Aftermarket is a tough business. To survive, you must provide exceptional customer service, optimize your inventory, track transactions, outwit your competition, and improve profits. To achieve all that, you need technology. Unfortunately, technology investments make many uncomfortable. That’s possible because, unlike your inventory, an investment in technology will reside in your business for several years. A poor technology decision can result in lost revenue, frustrated employees, and a reduction in customer satisfaction.

As a result, your choice of a business management system, which includes POS, Inventory Control, AP, AR, parts availability, and other important features must be made carefully. To help you with that choice, we’ve assembled a list of the ten most common mistakes made when choosing and implementing a business management system. The list isn’t prioritized because they’re all important, and making any of these mistakes could have an impact on your chances for success
