As we move away from the pandemic, we still live in a world of uncertainties- shaping and transforming business processes across industries. Company leaders nowadays are much more aware of the value of digital transformation. But the question is, how can we make the change beneficial and sustainable across all functions and business units?

What is Positive-sum growth?

Jean-Michel Bérard, Esker’s Founder and CEO, shared his unique perspective on positive-sum growth: “Positive-sum growth is the exact opposite of zero-sum growth. It not only serves the company, but all stakeholders: customers, employees, suppliers, and even the community in which the business operates.”

Positive-sum growth offers a smarter and more sustainable way to do business today. Technology is here to assist business growth, but we often neglect that these successes, sometimes come at the expense of something else (eg. at the expense of your customers or suppliers)

Company leaders need to think about how technologies can provide an excellent user experience and encourage an ecosystem that can encourage positive-sum growth within and outside of a company.

Let’s deep-dive into how we can utilise artificial intelligence-driven solutions to achieve that in the respective business processes:

Procure-to-Pay

Increasingly, more and more people are involved in the Procure-to-Pay process including requestors to buyers, and finance individuals to suppliers. The last two years taught us that collaboration is the foundation of relationship building. And here is exactly what you need to increase positive-sum growth within the ecosystem:

·   Giving suppliers the flexibility to send different types of invoices 

·   Offering on-time or even early payment

·   Collaborating and communicating on an all-in-one platform for both internal and external parties

Accounts Receivable

Customers and employees are heavily involved in the Accounts Receivable process and the key to success is to keep it flexible. Achieving Positive-sum growth in your accounts receivable process can be simplified such as:

Order Processing

Sales order processing is tied to customer experience, involving your customers, sales, and customer service functions. AI and RPA technology address the most manual areas of order taking through a centralised, cloud-based platform. Flexibility can help improve your relationship with your customers such as:

·       Flexibility to process orders from different platforms (E-commerce, EDI, Email, Fax etc)

·       Provide 100% visibility on orders placed

·      Collaborate easily with customers and employees using the customer portal

 Positive-sum growth for your business – more than just technology
