Major Challenges Faced by Banks Serving Businesses
Small and medium businesses suffer from broken workflows and processes after invoice creation from ERPs. They often stay behind in sharing authentic and structured data with the lending party.
Let’s have a look at the major challenges faced by banks and financial institutions when serving SMBs:
- SMBs fail to track real-time data collection. This hampers their collection productivity.
- Manual invoice collection and payment reconciliation are cumbersome and time-consuming.
- Traditional methods of sending payment reminders, at irregular intervals with no such customized templates, were a drawback.
- Manual and offline collections with no such real-time cash flow tracking.
- Major investments into manpower with no such advanced results only lead to expenses and overheads.
