Get Paid Faster with Vantagepoint Payments AR Automation

If you run an architecture, engineering, or consulting firm, you know that great project work doesn't pay the bills. Getting paid for it does. As a Deltek Vantagepoint user, you also know what happens when those payments aren't connected to your project financials: your team ends up bridging the gap manually, reconciling transactions and working across multiple systems just to keep the books accurate.

Getting clients to pay you promptly is something your accounting team manages every day, and delayed payments can make it harder to pay your own bills on time. Now you can improve your cash flow and reduce days sales outstanding (DSO) by using Vantagepoint Payments to streamline your accounts receivable (AR) process, letting your firm accept digital payments for client invoices produced directly in Vantagepoint.

By giving clients a secure way to pay electronically, you avoid the labor and unpredictability of waiting on paper checks in the mail. And because banking information never needs to be exchanged directly between your firm and your clients, both sides reduce their exposure to fraud.

Here's how it works: once a client invoice is posted in Vantagepoint, the invoice detail and a PDF of the invoice sync automatically to the Vantagepoint Payments portal. Your client receives a notification by email with a “Pay Now” link included, so they can view the invoice and pay by ACH or credit/debit card through a secure portal. Payment details then sync back to Vantagepoint and are matched to the correct invoice, project, and customer, turning reconciliation into a matter of a few clicks instead of a manual process.

Because you don't need to change how invoices are processed in Vantagepoint today, adopting AR Automation doesn't mean learning a new system. It's simply a faster, more secure way to collect on the work your firm has already done.
