The Challenge
Inefficient contracting in quote-to-cash processes leads to increased cost of sales.
Delays in the quote-to-cash process could have a negative impact on timely invoicing and revenue recognition in enterprises. These delays can be caused by manual contract management processes that do not scale well with sales volume, thus increasing the cost of sales. Difficulty in enforcing standards results in maverick contracts, noncompliance and significant legal risk. Pressure to close deals becomes an unintentional incentive to compromise on contracting standards, resulting in potential damage to reputations.
