Join a complimentary webcast on how Starbucks achieved 72% zero-touch, straight through cash posting for 2-million line-items and improved operational efficiencies through Integrated Receivables technology
Houston, Texas – September 6, 2017 – Starbucks, the Seattle-based coffee company, is one of America’s most well recognized coffee house chains, with operations in more than 25,000 locations worldwide and a mission to “inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time.”
As of 2016, Starbucks reported $21 billion in revenue, 11% growth vs prior year. Our Licensed Stores, CPG, and Foodservice businesses which together represent 21% of total Company revenue also grew double digit. As expected, the customer finance team at Starbucks was tasked with the objective of continuing to support business growth while maintaining optimal credit and A/R operational levels.
To continue to meet these objectives, Starbucks turned to advanced technology in the form of an Artificial Intelligence-based cash application automation solution that would help resolve the escalating growth challenges such as scaling the cash application across multiple customers, each with their own payment system and with their own remittance format.
Using cash application automation, Starbucks reaped rich rewards by automating 72% of their line items and processing 77% of their payments automatically.
Join Martha McElroy Rojas, Director, Customer Financial Services at Starbucks Coffee Company and Tammy Colburn, Senior Accounting Manager, Accounts Receivable as they share their journey and how the cash application automation solution are helping them meet their company objectives.
“Cash application automation helped us achieve our targets of scaling accounts receivable operations to meet the business growth. Using this technology, we successfully faced the operational challenges related to the labor intensive, manual process of capturing customer remittance details, the absence of remittance and multiple accounts for each customer. With automation applied across the entire cash application process, we have seen an improvement in team productivity and efficiency,” states Martha.
