Case Study: AOL achieves daily automated revenue recognition and accelerated cash flow with Redwood Software's RunMyJobs

AOL's automated cash flow acceleration

AOL, a multinational internet‑media company generating more than US$1.4 billion in annual advertising revenue, faced a complex, time‑critical billing cycle that processed over 500,000 records daily. Reliant on slow, manual and custom processes across regional sales groups, the company lacked visibility into critical steps, created weekend and month‑end bottlenecks, and could only recognize revenue weekly—introducing delay and risk.

In just 11 days AOL implemented Redwood RunMyJobs to automate and coordinate its order‑to‑cash across regional process calendars and centralized billing for 13 countries. The solution enabled consistent daily revenue recognition, eliminated manual error-prone steps and weekend handling, reliably processes 500,000+ records per day without a bad revenue cycle, and freed the team to extend automation to HR, fixed assets and AR lockbox reconciliation.
