A private equity-backed $100M revenue company running JD Edwards (JDE) faced a costly cash-flow paradox: the business was paying suppliers early while also experiencing late payments from customers. These dynamics were driven by inconsistent execution across Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR), manual workarounds, and limited operational visibility into why invoices were being paid or collected outside policy.
By redesigning AP and AR execution in JDE and embedding continuous monitoring, the company reduced early pay, minimized late-payment exposure, and accelerated cash conversion, delivering $1.6M annual EBITDA impact and $2.2M in working capital release.
