2020 Retrospective: Focusing on the Positives

Esker UK — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 10:15:44 +0000

Let’s be honest, we all have mixed feelings about the past year. Esker and our hardworking staff members certainly weren’t exempt from experiencing the economic, social and political issues the world has seen in 2020, but just for the next few minutes, let’s take a break from the negatives and highlight some of the positives. Because for Esker, 2020 still brought a lot of things to celebrate.

New Esker Solutions

This year, Esker launched two new automation solutions to further expand its Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay suite offerings:

As an extension of Esker’s Accounts Receivable solution, our new Cash Application solution enables businesses to increase the efficiency and automation of the cash allocation process of matching open invoices to payments received, helping to simplify cash allocation and take the pain out of remittances.
Further strengthening Esker’s P2P suite, Supplier Management takes a full lifecycle approach to help businesses manage supplier information and automate processes across the supply chain.

Notable Accomplishments & Recognitions

Not to sing our own praises, but Esker also accumulated some impressive achievements and awards this year.
