Time Wasted
Credit Approval Process
• Think about your process when someone wants to
apply for credit?
• How much time is wasted
– Chasing down paperwork and documents
– Chasing down the account manager
– Chasing down the customer
We spend so much time educating the Sales/Account
team on what they need to provide it just seems to
go in one ear and out the other. You would think they
would want to get their customers credit and make it
easier to close business.

Get People to pay on time
• How many of your customers pay late?
• How much interest are you loosing on that money?
• What if you could collect the cash sooner?
We collect $500,000 per month. 10% of our customers
pay an average of 12 days late. That is 12 days of
interest we lose not to mention if they paid on time or
early up to 35 days of interest.

Get People to pay sooner
• Approximately how much cash do you collect every
month?
• What if you could collect the cash sooner?
We collect $500,000 per month. By collecting 25% of
that ($125,000) 3 days earlier we have that cash
available to run our business and even see ROI by
increasing the interest earned on that money
($865.00 in a year).

Purchasing
• Manager Requests 10 computers
• Purchasing gets 3 quotes
• Purchasing Negotiates deals
• Manager approves one
• Purchasing places order
• Manager Signs off on Invoice
• Sent to AP for payment
So many things are handled on spreadsheets, post it notes and in
our heads. It is no wonder things fall through the cracks
sometimes. EES and Baass can reduce those slips and actually
allow people to prioritize and manage their time better.
