Strategic Treasurer and Deluxe’s 2024 AP Automation Readiness Survey polled corporate practitioners on the AP industry’s pain points, concerns, plans and processes, especially with regard to automation. AP automation has been a goal for organizations for many years, but companies now need to reassess where they stand and how to proceed in the current landscape. In this webinar, we will discuss the key findings from the results of the survey, offering a current view of your peers’ experiences, challenges and plans surrounding AP automation.
As we look toward 2025, corporate treasurers and finance teams will need to navigate key developments and leverage opportunities in payments across four primary areas:
• Reducing Friction: Opportunities to create connections between internal and external systems to increase efficiency.
• Enabling Faster Processing: Enabling speed for teams to meet demands of faster payments.
• Assessing Automation Priorities: Eliminating tasks that don’t require a human. Understanding how to leverage new technologies and implement them effectively so your people can spend more time on higher value tasks.
• Increasing Relevance to Your Organization: Using AI and other tools to create tailored, data-driven experiences that are specific to your context.
Join us for an insightful session where we will dive into how these trends will impact corporate treasury management in the coming years and what you can do to stay ahead of the curve.
Receivables modernization represents a strategic opportunity for businesses to improve their cash flow and working capital management. By leveraging modern technology, corporations can see more effective and convenient ways to collect payments. Faster, automated, and integrated collections streamline the process, significantly enhancing efficiency. In this webinar, Strategic Treasurer’s Managing Partner, Craig Jeffery, and Deluxe’s Payment Division President, John Rubinetti III, will uncover the potential for automation opportunities, the best approach for companies modernizing their receivables, and the benefits of true vendor partnership.
Acting in silos often comes easily to treasury, AR, and other areas, but the silo mindset is restrictive and limited. A comprehensive view, one that looks at the full process and all participants, offers far greater value for the organization and its partners. This view not only includes an end-to-end look within the company, but also includes external counterparties. “Optimizing part of the process suboptimizes the whole,” as the famous quote says, and optimizing the entire process requires an end-to-end to end-to-end look. This session explores how to:
• Improve overall treasury performance (liquidity, visibility, scalability)
• Strengthen AR (automation, reporting, defect reduction)
• Identify the parties that need to be part of the decision discussions
• Use third parties to secure trusted advice and understand leading practices
