Poor customer
experience is
expensive
Bad experiences
often go viral
The inability to
retain customers
is expensive
Companies aren’t
equipping teams to
provide superior
service
4. A customer is 4 times more likely to defect to
a competitor if the problem is service-related
than price- or product-related.

5. Customers want to be able to send their orders through whatever channel suits
them best: fax, email, paper, online, phone and so forth.
A truly advanced digital solution should enhance the customer experience, not
disrupt it.

In general, Esker is used as a complementary solution among with other EDI products.
Sometimes, Esker will just create an EDI order, thus enabling EDI automation for fax, email and phone orders.
However, this has the drawback that there is no unique place where to find the orders, thus our idea to be able to read EDI orders and send them to the Esker Order Form.
EXCEPTION HANDLING
EDI exceptions handling is manual, very painful, requires extra staff to go over non-readable formats, etc.
With Esker: CSRs can correct and post EDI orders in a familiar interface, where they already validate fax and email orders
#5. Present Evidence that You Can Make the Story Come True
Several Verticals
Small and big
Paper-based processes have higher error rates
—Keying errors
—Matching errors
—Lost & misfiled documents—2-4% error rate
Duplicate Payments
—Typically .05 to .1% of expenses
—For each $100M in disbursements, $50-100K in duplicate payments!
Overpayment Errors
Late Payments
lost Early Payment Discounts—2/10 net 30—Over 35% annualized savings lost!
Le traitement des factures fournisseurs est un mal nécessaire. Or chaque règlement non enregistré, non autorisé, incorrect ou en doublon, chaque imputation de coût erronée, paiement en retard, remise perdue, fournisseur mécontent ou contrôle inexistant ne constitue pas une liste de problèmes, mais les symptômes d'un problème : celui d'un processus de traitement de factures inefficace.
Prenons le cas d'un règlement en retard. Le processus d'approbation est-il à l'origine de ce problème ? Les factures ont-elles été rangées dans une pile de documents et oubliées ? La saisie de la facture est-elle en cause ?
Vous ne pourrez répondre à cette question qu'après avoir analysé votre processus de gestion des factures fournisseurs.
