Accurate finance management
Overview
Linked up purchase orders, delivery tracking, production schedules, and inventory can be shared across sales teams to create more precise pricing models, leading to improved profit margins.
When sales are confirmed, they feed back into the production workflow, generating automatic ordering, shipping, and more. When finance is looped into this workflow, invoicing can be automated, and, critically, so can credit control.
Nearly a third of manufacturers reported debtors’ unpaid invoices breaching 30 days past due in 2021’s first quarter. Easing some of that burden with automation is a cash flow win. For the rest, it requires escalation. Those debtors need a personalized approach from a sales account manager or a credit controller—or both.
Clockworx can help by:
- Keeping both teams in communication about customer account status
- Sharing comms logs for credit control
- Automating escalations when customized criteria are achieved (e.g. looping in a more senior manager)
- Linking logged sales with paid/unpaid accounts for real performance analysis
