According to a study by Capgemini and BNP Paribas, digital payments are expected to reach a record 726 billion by 2020. Today, the number of purchases made online has begun to exceed the number of real-world transactions. As we move further into the future, this trend will only continue to grow: Cash flow will become more digital and automation will continue to seep into our daily practices. Large organizations have already started tapping into the “Order to cash” (O2C) cycle to automate and efficiently manage their finances. With money management being an integral part of any business, the need for cash solution providers especially in today’s tech-centric world has never been greater.
The need to optimize the O2C cycle
The O2C cycle covers a range of disciplines and sub-departments within an organization. Usually, those departments operate with different systems, datasets, and workflows even though they work on the same orders. As the technical processes required to manage such activities has been fractured until now, gaining a transparent view of this setup can be difficult. That’s where a company like Order2Cash, comes into focus.
Origin
Order2Cash is a company that was initially established with the objective of creating custom enterprise level e-invoicing solutions for multinational organizations. Founded in 2000 in Amsterdam, under the name Anachron, the company steadily grew over the span of the next two decades thanks to clever internal innovations and close interactions with its partners and customers. Within its first few years, Anachron became one of the top players in the European market and even started attracting clients from the US and other foreign countries.
As the company’s portfolio expanded, the management realized that all these newly added services; such asonline payments, credit management andcollections etc had given a new meaning to the company. No longer were they focused entirely on e-invoicing; instead they had grown to become a true end-to-end order to cash solution provider.This consequently led them to make one of the most important changes to the company to date. They decided to rebrand it to what we call it today, Order2Cash.
