TREASURY & CASH MANAGEMENT

ACEVA

Client profile: By location: North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific

Capabilities/services: Aceva Technologies is a leading provider of enterprise application software solutions for revenue and receivables management. Aceva's solutions for credit management, order quality, dispute prevention, inventory transaction reconciliation, deductions management, EIPP, collections management and cash forecasting directly address quote-to-cash process breakdowns, quality issues and automation requirements. Aceva's products deliver end-to-end revenue and receivables visibility, continuous business policy monitoring, collections process automation and workfiow as well as comprehensive reporting and analytics.

Product Overview: Enterprise cash management requires a structured approach to working capital optimization focusing on investment and accounts receivable. By accelerating corporate collections and reducing accounts receivable balances, corporations unlock significant working capital trapped on the balance sheet. The Aceva Revenue and Receivables Management Suite allows companies to reconcile quote-to-cash transactions early in the cycle to ensure accurate invoicing and rapid dispute resolution, and to accelerate collections by automating the process and ensuring consistent application of corporate policy and strategy.

Business developments: Ranked as the fastest-growing company in the receivables and collections space, Aceva is now used in 26 countries around the globe, processes more than 45 million transactions a month and has unlocked over $3.7 billion in working capital annually.

Outlook: With over $1 trillion of working capital on the books of the 1,000 largest US companies, revenue and receivables management solutions will play an increasingly critical role in driving down DSO and unlocking working capital. Analysts size the market opportunity at $5.5 billion in the next two years. DSO reduction and working capital optimization will be a greater focal point in the office of the CFO.
