Running a business can be challenging, but with the right tools, you can make it a lot easier.  Windward System Five is here to help you streamline your invoicing, contracts, and accounts receivable processes, so you can focus on what really matters – your customers.

The Business Problem: Manual Processes Create Operational Risk

Businesses, like yours, encounter several common challenges:

 3. Accounts receivable is hard to track

    • Monitoring outstanding balances, credit limits, and payment terms is challenging. Payment terms are frequently not adhered to, resulting in cash flow issues.

4. Technology limitations multiply the problem

  • Outdated or inadequate technology exacerbates these problems, making it difficult to streamline processes and maintain accurate records

How ERP Software Solves These Challenges

Here’s how Windward System Five can help transform your operations:

Streamline Accounts Receivable and Improve Cash Flow

Keeping track of accounts receivable can be daunting, but System Five integrates point of sale, invoicing, and customer maintenance to simplify the process. When you create an invoice at the sales counter, the system checks the customer’s credit status, outstanding balance, and credit limit. You can assign each accounts receivable customer their own credit limits, credit status, payment terms, and even set when interest should be charged on past due invoices.

 

Why ERP Makes a Difference

In a nutshell, System Five is your go-to solution for managing invoicing, contracts, and accounts receivable.  Whether you’re handling quick sales or managing complex contracts, System Five is designed to meet your needs and support your business growth.
