Case Study: Bent Water Distributing cuts outstanding AR by 50% with Encompass Technologies paylink

Bent Water Distributing Uses paylink to Reduce Outstanding AR by 50%

Bent Water Distributing, the distribution arm of Bent Water Brewing, needed a faster and more efficient way to collect retailer payments. The company was spending too much time chasing checks and cash, manually reconciling accounts, and waiting 10 to 12 days on average to process a single payment, with some invoices remaining unpaid for nearly 200 days. Encompass Technologies provided its paylink digital payment solution to help streamline the accounts receivable process.

With Encompass Technologies’ paylink, Bent Water added payment links to invoices and statements so retailers could pay quickly online, including as one-time guest users. The result was a major reduction in manual work and faster payment collection, with outstanding AR cut in half within the first six months. Bent Water also reported that online payments reach its bank account in about 24 hours, while paylink transaction data flows directly into its RAS system, improving efficiency for accounting and sales teams.
