(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Over 60% of businesses are more interested in requesting early payment
(62%) and automating invoice processing (66%) as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report conducted by working capital
technology solutions leader, Taulia. The global report unlocks key
insights into supplier behavior due to the impact of COVID-19, with main
themes being: a shift in working practices, a decrease in business
demand, and an increase in the automation of financial processes.
The
survey which was conducted over a two-week period in June 2020
collected the views and insights of over 9,000 global respondents, with
the majority (55%) of respondents coming from businesses with less than
USD $10 million in revenue. Respondents were asked questions about how
COVID-19 has impacted their business and how their behavior has changed
as a result of the pandemic.
The
report found that businesses are adapting to the current environment in
numerous ways, with many respondents (78%) stating they have seen a
change in their customers’ working practices. This change is reflected
in their own work environment, with 41% of respondents saying they will
now allow staff to work from home. Respondents also noted that there has
been an increase in receiving late payments (43%) and a general
decrease in business demand (56%), which means managing cash flow and
injecting liquidity into the business has never been more important.
“COVID-19
has disrupted the entire business world and we want to do whatever we
can to help businesses, small and large, to remain operational and
competitive. As a result of COVID-19, we have seen a tremendous increase
in early payment requests and demand for solutions to help manage
financial processes electronically. The report sheds light on current
business attitudes and behavior, which we hope to use to fuel more
innovation to help our customers succeed,” states Cedric Bru, CEO,
Taulia.
