Revolutionize cash application integration with VMS portals

VMS portals have changed the game for staffing companies

Staffing companies are experiencing increased pressure from customers to input invoices into VMS portals, with varying invoice format requirements. These challenges have resulted in difficulties in extracting and matching data, which in turn have caused a slow and manual cash application process with low match rates and a high frequency of errors.

Additionally, (virtual) credit card usage has become increasingly popular, and staffing companies must offer fast and flexible payment options to meet customer preferences. During times of reduced economic activity, meeting these preferences can determine whether payments are received on time or if accounts become delinquent.

For many staffing companies, another concern is the collection of debts while maintaining customer relationships, which requires significant time and effort to build. Therefore, the preservation of these relationships is a top priority.

To remain competitive, staffing companies must overcome these challenges by adapting to evolving customer demands.

The smart strategy to increase cash flow is to open more payment channels. Billtrust’s Business Payments Network (BPN) can help. BPN, the first supplier-driven payments network, empowers businesses to get paid, get remittance and get on with business.

Reach more customers at the right time with less effort

The #1 challenge for collections pro- fessionals is the same for specialists across the order-to-cash journey: too many manual processes. Also, collections teams today are facing increasing pressure to forecast accu- rately and get paid quickly. As such, collectors’ actions must be prioritized and, at the same time, not adversely impact customer relationships.

With Billtrust Collections you can start uncomplicating the collections workflow and deploy a col- lections process that keeps every- one on track:

AUTOMATION: Create customized procedures to be used for customers at different stages in the collections process, automate repetitive tasks, and allow customers to pay directly from an email reminder.

REWRITE THE WORKDAY: Start each collector’s day with a prioritized worksheet that includes a list of actions tailored to their portfolio. We help collectors optimize their efforts by focusing them on the most pertinent tasks – and target the customers who need outreach most.

FULL VISIBILITY: Gain visibility into the team’s activities with intuitive workflows, worksheets, dashboards and reports. Communications are centralized, with customer profiles that show full histories and planned actions, so managers and team members can see what’s happening at a glance.

STAY AHEAD OF POTENTIAL CASH FLOW ISSUES: Billtrust Collections provides AI analysis features to help predict when payments will be made, along with tools to optimize procedure impact on payment probability.

ENSURE STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS: Create personalized email outreach templates, ensure coordinated out- reach for sensitive customers, and log and track disputes until they are resolved.
