“We encountered significant challenges in our Accounts Receivables processes, as everything was handled manually, from sending reminders to managing outstanding invoices. However, with the implementation of EnKash’s Olympus, we experienced an outstanding transformation as our processes became fully automated. The results were remarkable: a substantial reduction in man-hours invested, achieving 100% accuracy in accounting and auditing tasks, and witnessing an impressive 40% improvement in overall process efficiency. Moreover, this automation led to significant cost savings.”

Customers and Cash are the two ‘Cs’ of business that keep it going. A deficit of either two will not allow any business to prosper in the long term. While customers were not a problem for Vianet, a Pune-based electronics distributor, cash from customers became a problem.

Let us dig deeper to understand the challenges faced by Vianet and how EnKash Olympus, a full-stack platform designed for startups & small to midsize businesses, helped them resolve this once and for all. 

Vianet’s Process Before Adopting EnKash Olympus

The account receivables team manually handled collections from their customers. The team had to repeatedly communicate with their customers for collections, creating friction in their rapport. This constant and tedious process was an add-on task to the daily work. They had to send out multiple reminders verbally and on calls to the customers, but payments were still not cleared on time. 

As a result, this led to a huge surge in outstanding payments for them, which by any means is not good for businesses. These outstanding invoices created a gap in the business as they needed more cash flow to clear payments for their vendors, take up new orders, and invest it further for new products.

Challenges faced by Vianet:

• Managing account receivables processes manually: Investing their time, energy, and resources, they were doing tasks with human intervention, leaving scope for manual error
• Sending multiple reminders to customers: This can hamper their customer relationship in the long run, as customers don’t want to be bugged
• A huge surge in outstanding payments: They were not able to procure more products because of their outstanding invoices
• Collection delay: Payment collection for them became a pain and a common practice, making it a norm

Vianet adopted EnKash Olympus

A comprehensive product for managing business payables, receivables, reconciliation, audit, and analytics, Olympus was adopted by Vianet to streamline its business finance processes.

After implementing EnKash Olympus, Vianet significantly enhanced its communication with customers.
