USA Bank Lockbox

This Cashbook module uploads U.S. bank Lockbox files into the ERP and applies cash automatically based on the check and invoice reference data contained in the file.

Any company in the U.S. spending more than 2 hours a day handling manual Lockbox data should consider automating this key A/R process.

Today, many A/R departments in the U.S. receive Lockbox information from their bank manually (by fax, or by printing reports available through banking software). As part of a Lockbox project, we will work with your bank to ensure that you receive this information electronically in the correct format. We then work with you to establish the matching rules required. We handle single-site scenarios, as well as consolidated Lockbox files to be applied across multiple company divisions and ERP environments.

Current daily matching rates at our U.S. Lockbox sites range from 60% to 100%. Return on Investment models for U.S. Lockbox projects average from 6 to 12 months.
