Key areas to automate in the Order-to-Cash process
While each company handles their fulfillment in unique ways, many elements of the Order-to-Cash process are the same across industries, making it what we call a “ripe for automation” process.
- Receiving the customer order
- Initiating fulfilment
- Tracking delivery
- Invoicing/Requesting payment
- Receiving/logging invoice payment
- Updating inventory
- Maintaining customer order data
Most O2C teams face similar challenges
The biggest challenges for all O2C processes are accuracy and speed. Each entry must be correct, and all the data needs to be as up to the minute as possible both for smooth business operations and customer satisfaction.
When O2C is managed by your human office staff there can be:
- Breakdowns in communication that slow down the process.
- Lack of coordination between sales and service
- Siloed O2C operations and lack of data-driven decisions
- Higher operating cost

Frequently asked questions
Order-to-Cash (O2C) is an accounting process for receiving and processing customer orders. The O2C team, in partnership with sales and service teams, plays a key role in maximizing revenue, minimizing revenue leakage, and providing leadership and customers with timely information.
The Order-to-Cash cycle is important for businesses to optimize in order to maintain smooth operations. Activities within O2C can impact supply chain management, inventory, and required labor. Therefore, if a bottleneck occurs in one of the steps of O2C, operations can be negatively impacted or disrupted.
