Case Study: Water Purification System Supplier achieves faster cash application and streamlined AR with Bottomline's Paymode‑X

Achieves Faster Cash Application after Joining Electronic Payment Network

Water Purification Vendor (WPV), a national water filtration manufacturer that bills mostly recurring monthly rentals, struggled with a slow, error-prone AR process: about 70% of payments arrived by check (with limited remittance detail), forcing manual matching to invoices and trips to the bank, while only 20% were ACH and 10% card.

At a key customer's request WPV enrolled in the Paymode‑X electronic payment network, where many of its largest payers were already active. The network provides clear, structured remittance, real‑time payment confirmations and next‑day fund availability, enabling faster, more accurate cash application, reduced check handling and improved AR efficiency — benefits WPV now promotes to other customers.
