Quote-to-Cash
Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) is a module from TAKE Supply Chain’s OneSCM platform.
It provides suppliers a customer-facing solution that enables transactions electronically with their customers as well as to manage the entire business process from RFQs to invoicing.
Q2C provides the following business benefits:
- Managing and processing RFQs and POs from customers in the format mandated by the customer
- Submitting electronic invoices in customer-mandated formats, irrespective of the number of formats and protocols required across the customer base
- Transmitting advanced ship notices (ASNs) and proactive delay notifications
Key Capabilities for the Supplier:
Q2C provides a customer-facing solution that enables suppliers to transact electronically with their customers as well as to manage the entire business process from RFQs to invoicing.
Key capabilities include:
- Submitting invoices to each customer in their mandated formats and with mandated attachments; seamless integration with the back-end system to pick up invoices
- Receiving and responding to several key transactions in the order processing and fulfillment cycle: RFQ/response, PO/acknowledgment, delivery order, shipment confirmation and ASN, sales order changes and goods receipt (at customer end)
- Interfacing with tracking systems of standard carriers and freight-forwarders
- Providing a Web front to the order processing and fulfillment system
Customer Invoicing
Suppliers can submit invoices out-of-the-box to their customers or to standard eInvoicing portals they may use in the customer/portal mandated formats and with the relevant attachments.
- Submit e-invoices directly to customers
- Submit through portals to their member customers
- Supports industry standards like PIDX and RNIF 2.0 for invoice processing and other business functions
Once implemented, the solution picks up invoices and any relevant attachments from the back-end accounting/billing system. Depending on the customer destination for the invoice, the invoice is transformed into the appropriate protocol and format and then submitted to the customer. Any response from the customer is also delivered back to the originator.
