Energy Infrastructure Provider

The Situation

This client operates through multiple business divisions, which means receivables span several entities and several customer AP processes at once. When CashLine engaged in 2023, weighted average days to pay sat at 83 days, invoice submission and portal approval cycles were slow, and ownership of individual accounts was unclear.

What CashLine Did

• Cut weighted average days to pay from 83 to 51 days, unlocking roughly $20M in working capital through faster cash conversion across managed receivables
• Replaced multi hour AR review sessions with focused 15 minute weekly reviews, and established clear account ownership and accountability where none previously existed
• Reduced invoice submission and portal approval time through proactive monitoring, weekly accountability reporting, and structured follow up with customer AP teams
• Managed full invoice submission and follow up across eCommerce portals including Open Invoice and Ariba

Continuity Through an ERP Conversion

CashLine maintained uninterrupted AR management through the client's SAP system conversion, manually tracking receivables while aging reports were unavailable and preserving collection momentum while cash posting ran months behind. As the client acquired and integrated new entities, collections operations scaled with the growing portfolio.

The Result

Between August 2023 and January 2026, weighted average days to pay fell from 83 days to 51 days, a 39% reduction. CashLine has processed 12.4K invoices and saved an estimated 3.1K hours of internal effort since 2023, while managing active receivables across multiple divisions simultaneously.

Weighted average days to pay is the dollar weighted average number of calendar days between invoice issuance and receipt of payment. A lower figure means faster cash conversion, directly improving working capital and liquidity.
