How to Level-Up Your Electronic Payments to Suppliers

Businesses have gradually been distancing themselves from paper checks for years. While the benefits of electronic payments are clear, there never seems to be enough money, time, resources, or support for this type of project – until now.

Due to the pandemic and the sudden shift to working from home, the barriers to electronic payments are broken. Manual accounts payable processes and remote work do not mix, and businesses have been pressed to make the transition to paying suppliers electronically to keep their supply chains moving. Meanwhile, cash-strapped suppliers have been eager to comply. As the economy reopens and buyers settle into an operational rhythm in this new reality, accounts payable leaders must pay attention to how they conduct B2B transactions.

Join Mark Brousseau and Brent Kinman to learn how accounts payable leaders can assess the status quo and build a strategic approach to supplier payments that will unlock cash and take your company’s financial operations to the next level.
