A key component of our testing is that Cashbook successfully updates and pays your AR and/or AP invoices and then correctly posts to your ERP platform. The methodology we use depends on your ERP, see our ERP section for more detail. It’s a crucial phase of every project; we’ll test and tweak, re-test and re-tweak until all is working 100%. Takes roughly 5 to 15 days to complete.

Cashbook cash management software is powerful but at the same time is easy to use. With minimal training all users can be up to speed.

A crucial step is ensuring a smooth switch-over from your old processes to your new Cashbook cash management software system. We document the steps required and remain onsite to supervise and assist with the initial use. We ensure your project gets off to a great start.
