Addressing delays in invoice collections and in offering real time discounts to its 6,000 strong dealer network across India, home grown brand Goldmedal Electricals has automated more than 70 per cent of its Account Receivables (AR) through B2B Fintech Global PayEX’s FreePay – an Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) solution. This translates into unlocking the potential of working capital worth INR 1000cr 9 days earlier.
Locked up working capital has been a pressing concern for B2B players, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. Add to it, ballooning AR numbers owing to traditional methods of invoice collection via Post Dated Cheques (PDCs) and manual reconciliation of each payment on company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
With the adoption of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered cloud based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, Goldmedal Electricals has seen faster digital collection, 2X faster reconciliation, a 9-day reduction in Daily Sales Outstanding, which together have enhanced working capital efficiency and increased visibility on company cash flows by 99 per cent.
Around 3,000 dealers of the company have opted for EIPP, with an average addition of 75 dealers every month since June 2019.
Global PayEX Chief Revenue Officer Narayan ‘Naru’ Ramamoorthy said, “Traditional methods and manual processes of AR continues to lock up billions of dollars of working capital across the globe. Our technology unlocks this value to empower businesses in cash flow planning and deployment while also creating value for their dealers by having better access to digital payments and channel finance. We are proud to partner with Goldmedal Electricals in its journey of digital transformation and working capital optimisation.”
