  Cloud-based EIPP platform FreePay reconciles payments 2X faster; reduces Daily Sales Outstanding by 9 days

Mumbai, February 15, 2021: Addressing delays in invoice collections and in offering real-time discounts to its 6,000 strong dealer network across India, homegrown brand Gold medal Electricals has automated more than 70 percent of its Account Receivables (AR) through B2B Fintech Global PayEX’s FreePay – an Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) solution. This translates into unlocking the potential of working capital worth INR 1000cr 9 days earlier.

 

Locked-up working capital has been a pressing concern for B2B players, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Add to it, ballooning AR numbers owing to traditional methods of invoice collection via Post Dated Cheques (PDCs) and manual reconciliation of each payment on the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.

 

With the adoption of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, Gold medal Electricals has seen the faster digital collection, 2X faster reconciliation, a 9-day reduction in Daily Sales Outstanding, which together have enhanced working capital efficiency and increased visibility on company cash flows by 99 percent.

Around 3,000 dealers of the company have opted for EIPP, with an average addition of 75 dealers every month since June 2019.

 

Global PayEX Chief Revenue Officer Narayan ‘Naru’ Ramamoorthy said, “Traditional methods and manual processes of AR continue to lock up billions of dollars of working capital across the globe. Our technology unlocks this value to empower businesses in cash flow planning and deployment while also creating value for their dealers by having better access to digital payments and channel finance. We are proud to partner with Gold medal Electricals in its journey of digital transformation and working capital optimization.”

 

The B2B fintech provides the whole stack of cloud solutions for Account Receivables and Account Payables to help optimize working capital for large Indian and MNC clients.

Gold medal Electricals Director Kishan Jain said, “Around five years back, Gold medal started on this path to become a digital organization. We started investing majorly in technology to drive efficiencies and productivity in various aspects of our functioning and are thrilled by the results. Integrating Global PayEX's FreePay solution into our systems has been an important part of this initiative and we are delighted to share that we have noticed a significant improvement in our revenue collections along with gaining key insights that have helped shape our business. We are excited about this initiative and look forward to working with Global PayEX on this transformational journey.”

 

Over the last two and a half years, dealers and distributors of the leading electrical brand use the EIPP solution to make highly secure digital payments. Global PayEX has provided Gold medal Electricals with a real-time dashboard that tracks invoice status and payments received, which helps in reconciling the payment against the invoice into its ERP.

 

In addition to automating AR, the switch and system manufacturer leverages the platform to offer multi-slab discounts, product and season incentives by region to its dealers and distributors, most of whom are Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
