What are accounts receivable teams saying about their 2021 needs?
In our last Pulse edition, we shared a link to a new accounts receivable survey so you could share your insights with us. We’re still hoping to receive more participation, but we wanted to share some initial results with you.
- 34% of payments received by respondents are still checks, making it clear there’s further room for optimization
- 76% do not have an automation solution for the receipt of cash, making reconciliation more difficult
- Addressing Days Sales Outstanding was the Top KPI-related priority for AR teams we surveyed
- Sending and tracking invoices was the top AR automation need for our customers
Click below to take the survey for yourself and add to our insights, and we’ll share more interesting tidbits in the months to come. If you have questions about how Paymode-X can help solve these challenges, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

Accounts receivable teams are either drowning in data or thirsting for better data
In too many cases, accounts receivable (AR) teams are sending an invoice to a payer, waiting for payment with limited visibility on arrival date, and then either sifting through inconsistent information attached to that payment or dealing with having none of the data they actually need. At its heart, this is a complex problem that leaves AR team members with a lack of control and confidence in incoming payments, as well as inefficient and ineffective operational processes and significant team member burnout. These are big problems organizations are struggling right now to solve.
Bottomline's General Manager Receivables Product, Jill McFarland takes a closer look at these data challenges and the big picture ways in which AR teams and organizations can improve.

Kelley said the Paymode-X team is receiving a lot of great feedback on ways to further improve visibility and streamlining of the order-to-cash cycle, but also encouraged vendors to reach out to her and the larger Vendor Success team directly to help shape the future of integrated receivables.
