Esker DeliveryWare Streamlines Business Processes
In the age of Information Technology, it is surprising to realize how many business processes are still based on the exchange of traditional, manually printed business documents.
Esker DeliveryWare enables organizations to: |

Accelerate document flow
Automated document delivery eliminates delays in communications by reducing or eliminating manual delivery. A typical business process involves multiple exchanges of documents. The time taken to produce, send, receive, and process multiple documents can be significantly reduced, resulting in shorter payment cycles and improved cash flow.
Improve cash flow
Esker DeliveryWare streamlines existing business processes by eliminating inefficient steps, resulting in improved cash flow. For example, faster and more accurate delivery of invoices will typically result in shorter cash conversion cycles due to faster payment. The improved time-to-cash can have a significant impact on the liquidity of companies with high volumes of incoming payments.
Automating the purchasing process provides immediate benefits for buying organizations such as government agencies through better payment terms, better pricing, lower labor costs, and less errors.
The New York City Department of Education reduced the invoice-to-payment cycle from over 30 days to about 7 days, earning fast-payment discounts and realizing substantial labor cost savings. 
Eliminate process bottlenecks
Many business processes grind to a halt at the point where human intervention is required to handle business documents. Before taking the leap towards full automation, significant gains are achievable by simply automating existing processes such as sending faxes.
Increase employee productivity
With document delivery integrated into applications, employees no longer have to interrupt their activities to manually send a document (for example, by printing then faxing or mailing). For companies with problems in their document handling processes, Esker DeliveryWare can help prevent using extra staff to solve the problem, thereby avoiding future hires.
Support regulatory compliance efforts
Esker DeliveryWare can help with the wide range of government-mandated programs involving significant documentation that must be submitted to regulating authorities. Esker can also help ensure that document management solutions comply with the relevant regulations governing how documentation is handled, such as the data privacy provisions of the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the health care industry.
Achieve the full potential of business partnerships
Automating the process of exchanging business documents with business partners ensures effective e-business and supply chain collaboration. Esker DeliveryWare can deliver business documents in the most appropriate format at the correct time to business partners.
Transition to e-business communication
The first step towards full electronic business communication is to automate sending documents, through fax or Mail on Demand. Organizations can then gradually shift more and more business documents to electronic format as the opportunity arises. Partners and customers can be switched over to electronic formats as soon as they are ready. New services can progressively be introduced based on the extra flexibility that Esker DeliveryWare provides.
