2 FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESSES

3 The Challenge for Small and Medium Businesses: Proactive Management If the successful start-up of a business is a major achievement, maintaining and growing that business is a significant challenge. The owners of small and medium businesses (SMBs) can end up running their business reactively rather than managing it proactively. With limited time and scarce human resources, they can become bogged down in the day-to-day tasks of attracting and retaining customers, finding and keeping talented staff, ensuring the operation runs smoothly and managing a healthy balance sheet. Having enough cash is a must: insufficient cash flow puts all aspects of the business under strain while a strong cash flow can quickly accelerate growth and lead to significant business success. SMB owners are acutely aware of the need to manage cash flow proactively at all times. For many SMBs tracking accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) in separate systems, compiling the information needed to understand and manage cash flow can be a manual and timeconsuming process. For growing SMBs, the manual systems that worked in the past may no longer be adequate. SMBs need solutions that provide a consolidated view of all AP and AR activities to manage all transactions in one place. These solutions will save time and money, reduce risk and help SMB owners to make more informed business decisions. The Challenges The ability to automate and consolidate payments acceptance can save SMBs time and money, allowing them to redirect resources away from the administrative burden of managing payables and receivables to the more important tasks of running and growing the business. At the same time, the ability to offer customers flexible and convenient payment options from a single solution means that businesses can accelerate receivables, raise customer satisfaction levels and even attract new customers. The Solution D+H s integrated and automated solutions provide SMB owners with a one-stop-shop approach to supporting their AP and AR activities. Sending electronic invoices, managing payment options, tracking receivables, reconciling payments, managing returned payments, submitting remote deposits and originating ACH credits D+H brings together all transactions into one centralized solution, giving businesses instant visibility into cash flow trends. D+H offers a range of payables and receivables solutions to help SMBs to process credit card, debit card, direct debit, direct credit, ACH credit, ACH Debit, Bacs and Faster Payments transactions cost-effectively. These solutions allow SMBs to optimize payment processing, minimize manual work, reduce cost and eliminate errors, while helping them to take control of their finances. With this level of control and flexibility buyers and suppliers alike are able to take advantage of preferred payment terms, improve cash flow and develop strong working relationships. 3

4 Payables and Receivables Solutions For Small and Medium businesses Integrated Payments SMBs accepting business or consumer payments can streamline payments acceptance, accelerate receivables and improve customer relationships by integrating payments acceptance with existing systems. To help them to achieve this, D+H offers consultation, integration documentation, code examples and a virtual testing environment to test responses in real-time. Alternatively, SMBs can submit regular batch payments to D+H for processing. Payment Gateway With D+H s payment gateway solution, SMBs use one single solution to support credit card, debit card, and echeck processing from all payment channels. D+H provides applications SMBs need to accept payments in office, by telephone, by mobile device and online. SMBs can create a branded online payment page to accept online payments; they can offer customers and suppliers the convenience of payment schedules or recurring payments; and they can store all customer data and payment tokens on a central, webbased platform to facilitate management and visibility into customer activity. Remote Deposit Remote deposit capture (RDC) has largely replaced the manual handling and movement of paper checks around the world. This has resulted in significant cost-savings for SMBs which can now transmit deposits electronically as they are received rather than having to physically transport them to the bank. SMBs with low to moderate deposit volume will benefit from consolidating RDC transactions with payment transactions. Mobile The ability to offer mobile payments can help SMBs to differentiate themselves and become more competitive. D+H s mobile technology enables SMBs to create a new channel to deliver the convenience of anytime, anywhere payments to their customers. Mobile capabilities provide secure payment capture and processing solutions, scalable to all volumes, to ensure high-quality, low-risk payments and deposits. e-invoicing D+H s e-invoicing solution provides visibility into all invoiced transactions for more accurate cash flow forecasts and improved business planning. Business owners can automate the payables process from the creation of purchase orders and receipt of invoices through to the handling of disputes and submission of payments online. D+H s payment gateway solution provides SMBs with the applications needed to accept payments in office, by telephone, by mobile device and online.
