Our continued investment in the digital transformation of core automation processes in this Platform Summer ’23 release delivers real business value’ said Elaine Treacy, Global Product Director at AMCS. ‘’The optimized ‘order to cash’ processes will ensure our customers can get paid faster and with less effort, reducing the risk of overdue payments and bad debt. Our investment in enhanced user experiences and a new equipment inventory feature will allow our customers to drive greater utilization and financial return from their container and truck assets, and thus improve their sales. Our new streamlined ‘purchase to pay ‘will allow our recyclers to purchase feedstock in an efficient and regulatory compliant manner, and to settle with suppliers using cash and checks as well as a new range of exciting digital payment options.
We were literally stuck at the same point that we’ve been at for 15 years and our previous solution wasn’t growing with us. It was pretty much a no brainer that this is what we needed to invest in. Once our team understood the AMCS Platform eliminates some big headaches in their daily jobs, even though there’s a learning curve, everyone has been excited by the fact that we’re transforming our company and moving forward.
Driving increased productivity, efficiency, and margins for our customers.
