Order-to-cash consulting
Faster cash, fewer disputes and a clearer view of receivables. We transform order-to-cash end to end, from order management and credit to collections and reconciliation.
Our order-to-cash consulting services can take you from strategy and process design through to vendor selection, data architecture, system implementation and adoption.
Revenue isn't real until it hits the bank, making a seamless order-to-cash (O2C) process the backbone of business growth. Many organisations, however, struggle with fragmented data handovers between CRM, contract management, billing, payments, tax, and ERP platforms. Invoices are checked manually before they are sent. Credit notes become the fix for failures upstream. Cash lands unapplied because remittance data does not match the invoice. Disputes sit unresolved and quietly turn into days sales outstanding (DSO).
Over time, these siloed workflows cause unbilled usage and revenue leakage: money your business earned, recorded, and lost before it could reach your accounts.
However, most of these are not billing problems. They begin earlier; in how orders are captured, how contracts and price changes are recorded, how entitlement is triggered, and how data moves between systems and teams. Fix those handovers, and most of the downstream noise disappears.
Clarasys helps finance and operations leaders eliminate these friction points, transforming complex order to cash workflows into scalable, automated engines. As an independent consultancy, we help finance and operations leaders transform their order to cash operations into scalable, automated engines. Our pragmatic, outcome-led approach combines process redesign with practical change management to fix critical handovers across your teams and tech stack. We deliver measurable results and, as a tech-agnostic firm, work closely with all the industry leaders, including Salesforce, Zuora, NetSuite, Stripe, BillingPlatform, Chargebee, and SAP.
Our deep expertise in O2C consulting and revenue architecture allows us to pinpoint where margin is lost, quantify exceptions, and embed robust operational controls. By bringing strategy, platform integration, and team adoption together, we empower your billing, receivables, and revenue teams to operate with complete clarity and confidence.
The benefits of getting your order-to-cash process right
More accurate invoicing
Invoices that are consolidated, accurate, and on time, mean customers can easily review against their purchase orders and pay. Resulting in fewer queries, fewer credit notes, and a billing experience nobody has to manage.
Reduce days sales outstanding
Accelerate order-to-cash processes at every stage. Gain faster order acceptance, send invoices out on time, prioritise collections, and have cash applied automatically rather than matched by hand.
Reduce revenue leakage
When usage is captured, mid-term changes are priced, entitlements match what was sold, then what you billed reconciles to what you contracted and recognised.
Lower your cost to serve
Automate the routine matching, dunning, and reconciliation work so finance and revenue operations can handle more customers, more pricing models, and more transactions without adding headcount.
How we can help
Bill accurately, every cycle
Most billing errors occur before billing starts. To eliminate these we can review and redesign order capture, credit checks, approvals, and entitlement so that customer purchases are recorded correctly. Building the billing logic of rating and pricing, proration, co-terming, overage and true-up, tax, consolidation, and the billing close prevents revenue leaks before billing cycles even start. Organisations will achieve first-time invoice accuracy, streamlined mid-term contract modifications, and reporting confidence during monthly close periods.
Collect earlier and reduce disputes
We segment receivables by value, risk, and behaviour, then design collections and dunning that match: automated for low-touch accounts, relationship-led where the balance justifies it. Disputes get a proper intake, ownership, and resolution path, and we feed the reasons back upstream so the same dispute stops recurring. Finance leaders gain predictable cash flow, lower Days Sales Outstanding, and a reduction in recurring invoice disputes.
Apply cash and reconcile without spreadsheets
We improve remittance capture and matching rules, reduce unapplied and on-account cash, and design the reconciliation between billing, payments, the receivables sub-ledger, and the general ledger. Finance teams obtain a fully transparent, defensible audit trail across all transaction streams, supporting strict compliance and revenue recognition standards. Unlocked finance team capacity shifts away from tedious operational reconciliation toward strategic business growth.
Choose, integrate, and deploy the technology
When the process needs new tooling, we run vendor-agnostic evaluations across configure-price-quote, subscription management, billing, payments, and ERP systems to clarify total cost of ownership and integration complexity. Together, we’ll define the target architecture and integration pattern, and support implementation, data migration, and cutover, giving business leaders a future-proof tech stack that matches your unique commercial ambitions. We also prepare the people: training, new ways of working, and the internal capability to keep improving order to cash after we leave.
