Accept any payment method—check (RDC), ACH/EFT, credit/debit card, cash—from any payment channel—mailed-in, lockbox, called-in, in-person, AutoPay (automatic debit), online, mobile—all on a single, cloud-based receivables platform.
Convenient, contactless online payment options via ETran's fully-hosted online payment portal give your customers the ability to view, select, and pay open invoices at any time. Distributors can allow customers to pay via ACH or credit card based on each customer's unique payment terms.
Previously, a UniPro distributor had to send sales staff into the field to collect payments from past due customers. By offering online payments, they’ve kept sales staff focused on selling instead of chasing checks.
FTNI’s ETran Mobile application enables field representatives and delivery drivers with the ability to securely accept check, ACH and/or credit card payments on the spot with the added benefit of easily associating payments with open invoices. This helps to accelerate exception handling, increase cash flow, and reduce DSO to ultimately accelerate AR operations and automate cash application.
ETran Mobile decreases the time it takes AR departments to process and post payments by up to 80 percent, and reduces DSO by more than five days.
A distributor with 100 drivers on the road used to experience delays in check deposits due to drivers’ schedules. With the ETran Mobile app, they’ve cut bank float by at least one day, ensuring faster cash flow.
ETran's AutoPay (automatic debit) module delivers distributors with the functionality to automatically set up and initiate regularly recurring ACH and credit card payments based on upcoming invoices associated with each customer's account and unique payment parameters. Proactive reminder notifications can be sent to customers several days prior to the transaction, reminding them of their upcoming payment(s). Email receipts can also be sent once a payment has been made.
Delivering customers with more convenient payment options via a single, unified platform, combined with the ability to automatically update back-office accounting/ERP/CRM systems has helped leading distributors decrease DSO by upwards of five days. After all, operating from a single platform gives you the oversight and efficiencies needed to free up your most valuable resources for higher value functions such as exception handling.
ETran gives distributors a PCI-compliant platform to accept credit card payments. Now, as a registered credit card ISO, FTNI can offer merchant processing services alongside our AR automation software so you have one provider for credit card acceptance and processing.
