ERP / CRM IntegrationDaily and weekly turnover payments from dealers
Distribution dealers make the sales and send the proceeds by daily or weekly bank transfer. Each dealer’s open balance is tracked from bank statements, and a late dealer is noticed only at the next shipment.
Solution
- Dealers take payments from their customers and pay you from the same screen
- Payments can go to the dealer’s IBAN, or come straight to you and post to the dealer’s account as a credit
- Set a separate payment set-up and credit limit for each dealer
- In the parent company, dealer and sub-dealer chain, everyone sees their own reports and you see the whole network
- Dealers log in on your own domain and see your brand
Dealers take payments from their customers and pay you from the same screen- The dealer sends proceeds by transfer
- Open balances are tracked from bank statements
- A late dealer is noticed at shipment
- The dealer pays from its own screen by card or transfer
- The payment posts to the dealer’s account
- Every dealer’s balance on one screen
Dealer balances visible every day. You know the open balance before you ship.
Regular invoice payments from corporate customers
Factories, residential sites and businesses pay regular invoices, and reminders go out by email and phone every month. A late payment is noticed only in end-of-period lists.
Solution
- Set a monthly or custom payment schedule once; each payment starts automatically when it falls due
- Set up the schedule for a single customer or, with bulk recurring payments, for all corporate customers
- Retry rules for failed transactions
- Automatic reminders go out before the due date; late payments show up in the panel
- Customers pay by card in a single payment or in instalments
- The invoice goes out by email
- Reminders are made by phone
- Late payments are noticed at the end of the period
- A monthly schedule is set up once
- Each payment starts automatically when due
- Automatic reminders go out before the due date
Regular invoices are paid automatically. Every customer’s status on one screen.
Getting paid by delivery and field teams
Delivery, installation and service teams collect cash and cheques in the field. Payments reach accounting only when handed in at night, and the risk of carrying cash stays in the field.
Solution
- Assign a Physical POS to your delivery or service team, who take card payments in the field
- Single-payment sales land on your company card the next day at 0% fee, weekends and public holidays included
- See which POS is with which team and how much came in from each point on one screen
- One fixed fee across all partner banks; no inactivity fee and no minimum turnover
- Remote payment by link via SMS
- The team collects cash and cheques
- Payments are handed in at night
- The risk of carrying cash stays in the field
- The customer pays by card on the team’s POS
- Single-payment sales on your card the next day at 0% fee
- Every team’s payments on one screen
Less cash in the field. Payments show up without waiting for the evening.
Fees that slip through at high volumes
Card payment volumes in energy distribution are large. Fee and settlement differences across banks add up to a significant amount, and whether the rate charged matches your agreement often goes unchecked.
Solution
- Payment Orchestration routes every payment to the most suitable POS according to your rules; 23 banks and 23 payment institutions
- If a bank doesn’t respond, the payment continues through an alternative POS
- POS Reporting compares the agreed rate with the rate charged on every transaction and alerts you to deviations
- Payouts are verified against your bank account; a settlement calendar shows what lands and when
- All your virtual and physical POS terminals are covered, whether or not they run through Tahsildar
- The payment goes through whichever POS is open
- The fee only shows up on the month-end statement
- A rate difference that goes unnoticed becomes a loss
- A rule routes the transaction to the best POS
- The rate charged is checked against your agreement
- Payouts verified against the bank
The cost of every transaction is visible. You get an alert when a rate deviates.
Dealer, subscriber and corporate accounts kept apart
Dealer, corporate customer and field payments arrive through different channels and banks. Posting each to the right account and separating refunds is a daily burden for accounting.
Solution
- Dealers pay from their own screen, so the payer is known; the payment posts to their customer account in your ERP
- Payments, POS transactions, refunds and voids post to the right customer account
- Customer master data, balances, open items and invoices sync from your ERP to Tahsildar
- Bi-directional sync with SAP and Turkey’s leading ERPs (Logo, Mikro, Nebim); no middleware
- Sync timing is set in the panel and every sync is logged
- Each bank statement is downloaded separately
- The customer is found from the description and the payment posted by hand
- Field payments are posted from a separate list
- Every payment posts to the right customer account in the ERP
- Refunds and voids post to the right account too
- A failed sync shows up with its reason
Less double entry, an ERP that stays current. End-of-day reconciliation gets shorter.
