An inside look at The State of Digitization in B2B Finance

Abstract

Customer experience (CX) is among the top priorities for executives business-wide—in fact, nearly 9 in 10 survey respondents (89%) agreed that “the C-suite is only as good as its customer experience.” Yet, most glaringly, the research found that executives aren’t doing enough to solve their self-proclaimed most pressing problem when undertaking the digital transformation of their accounts receivable departments.

We found that businesses primarily focus on automating internal processes while ignoring what’s most important to them—delivering exceptional customer experiences. When the human element in accounts receivable is broken, it’s known as the AR Disconnect. And automation alone won’t bridge the resulting communication gap that stems from an inability to collaborate directly with customers.

Despite the majority of executives agreeing that their AR department has work to do to be more customer focused (96%), most (65%) have not prioritized implementing collaborative AR tools (such as an online portal) in their digital transformation efforts, further perpetuating the AR Disconnect.
