The Order and Revenue Management (ORM) Cycle is the lifeblood of every company in North America today. For most companies, ORM has become a complex bureaucratic tangle with many systems and departments performing redundant tasks, each generating volumes of unnecessary paperwork. As a result, ORM professionals spend much of their time handling mistakes, delays and inefficiencies that negatively impact every part of the business. The unfortunate consequences include dissatisfied customers, unpredictable cash flow, increased Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and associated working capital impacts, faulty forecasting and planning decisions, unreliable financial reports, and ultimately, lost revenue.

Soltec’s ORM Best Practice Solution™ is an industry proven end-to-end solution for all administrative aspects of this process including sales, order entry, billing, credit and collections, and cash application.

A successful ORM implementation ensures timely and accurate order entry, shipping, billing, and cash application which will provide predictable and improved cash flow and generate critical data used to plan and budget for every aspect of a company’s operations.
