What Esker customers say about electronic AR invoicing

Esker allows us to optimize invoicing processes from end to end and improve our DSO. We now have total visibilityof our invoicing processes; we can easily modify formatting as needed; and we have eliminated the need to store

letter head paper. And all this has been accomplished without modifying our system or maintenance, thanks to thesimpl icity of the solution installation.

admnsrv nd Fnncl Drcor Smsung elcroncs

Our customers started paying us at least 3 to 4 days faster, which was a huge windfall benet. Although we

anticipated some benets in this area, we were surprised about the magnitude of the benets realized.

Drcor of Busnss Sysms nd it Cron Srvc, inc.

Sending out invoices by fax and post was not only time consuming but we were incurring large printing and mailing

costs. All too often, oating paper invoices were being misplaced, lost or never reached the person they wereintended for. We werent receiving payments on time and needed a solution to automate the invoice delivery process.

Since implementing Esker we have eliminated invoice paper completely, reduced our delivery costs by half, achieveda time savings of 250 hours per week, reduced late payments by a minimum of 5 days and ensured that 100 percent of

proof of delivery documents are received.

Nonl Crd Mngr Vsy indusrs

Weve experienced tremendous benets since working with Esker. We have reduced costs because we no longerbuy paper and the other materials associated with printing, we no longer spend money on postal mail delivery and

overall, the accuracy of our order fulllment has improved. We also no longer pay staff overtime for working extra

hours to print, stuff and address invoices for postal mail delivery.

Drcor of it Alcan Composites USA

We batch-printed the invoices every night in-house. An operator would come in and print invoices and give them to ourin-house mail room the next morning. Then they would sort and stuff them and give them to a mail house. Theres been

no big change in what we process, but the difference is what we can do. Were able to fax or email directly from our SAPsolution with Esker, with better communication conrmations and the ability to build the master data in our SAP system.

We got rid of our stufng machine and the maintenance, and we got rid of a printer that we dont need anymore, sothere have been signicant costs savings on the hardware side. Accuracy is also better. A certain percentage of our

invoices are multiple pages. Before, we had to nd and stuff those separately, which creates the risk of error because its

such a manual process. And notication feeds back so we have visibil ity as to when invoices went out.

Mngr applcon Srvcs S indusr l Producs

We set out with the immediate goal of speeding the delivery of invoices, but once we were introduced to Esker,doors started opening to many more document delivery possibi lities. Esker has totally revolutionized our distribution

capabilities, making it very easy to continually speed our processes surrounding customer communications.
