b2b2dot0 Increases Customer Satisfaction with Online Payments of SAP Invoices

Raleigh, NC, September 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- b2b2dot0 helps companies improve the online buying process. Increasing customer satisfaction with online payments of SAP invoices makes a significant difference. Sam Bayer, CEO of b2b2dotcom asks, “What if you could reduce your Days Sales Outstanding and increase customer satisfaction by allowing your B2B customers to pay invoices online and apply discounts in real-time via eChecks or credit cards?”

Blount International was like many other global manufacturers and still used a few paper-based business processes. Until recently, the company was receiving and processing customer payments by check through the mail. That fact alone inserted at least 6 business days into the process…4 days of mail time and a minimum of 1 day of processing time on each end.

Blount’s CEO, Barry Brunetto, saw an opportunity to use web-based electronic payments to improve an inefficient process. Brunetto wanted to:
· Provide Blount’s customers with more convenient payment options
· Use technology to “do more with less”
· Reduce receivables
· Allow customers to easily reconcile their accounts

Bayer noted, “Blount approached b2b2dot0 with this request to integrate electronic payments into the system. With this initiative, the client provided the vision, and we provided the infrastructure and integration — and our WebAR service was born.”

Since then, the company has realized huge return on that investment. On average, Blount’s global customers now “self-serve” more than 8,000 web orders, status checks and document downloads per month.

Now Blount’s customers can:
· Take advantage of early payment discounts
· Apply payments to the “Open Items” of their choice
· Apply credits to payments of their choice
· Have tighter day-to-day control over their credit limits
· Eliminate the cost and hassle of printed checks and postage fees
