Esker has announced its Cloud Fax Services and Accounts Receivable solutions are now integrated with the SAP Business ByDesign SaaS ERP solution. 

The integration will allow users to quickly and easily fax documents, as well as automate the sending and archiving of paper and electronic invoices, directly from SAP Business ByDesign.

Instead of physically printing a document and faxing it from a fax machine, customers using Esker Cloud Fax Services together with SAP Business ByDesign can securely submit their documents to the worldwide network of Esker production facilities where they will be immediately faxed in just a few clicks. 

Esker Cloud Fax Services provides the ability to fax documents without adding hardware or software, and with no traffic or volume restrictions, while delivering the flexibility to fax either a single page or a batch of documents. Customers using the solution integrated with SAP Business ByDesign can fax sales order confirmations, customer invoices, collection letters, purchase orders and more as they are created.

Real-time fax processing, tracking and reporting is supported as well as fixed rates regardless of time of day and minimum transmission costs via least cost routing.

The Esker Accounts Receivable solution integrated with SAP Business ByDesign enables users  to automate the worldwide delivery and archiving of both paper and electronic invoices. Paper invoices are handed off to local postal services around the world in less than 24 hours and e-invoices are sent in compliance with regulations in more than 40 countries. Automating AR with Esker’s software as a service (SaaS) solution significantly reduces Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) by shortening the time between invoice generation and customer payment.

With its Print to Mail Services already integrated with SAP Business ByDesign, Esker offers the ability to physically mail documents directly from the SAP solution. Documents are printed, sorted, stuffed into envelopes, stamped, and put into the postal stream in less than 24 hours of being submitted. Mailing as a service facilitates the production, sending and tracking process for customers — delivering increased productivity, reliability and profitability.

“Our expertise in on-demand document process automation solutions is widely recognized, and we are pleased to be an SAP partner offering solutions in support of SAP Business ByDesign,” said Jean-Michel Bérard, CEO and president of the Board of Directors at Esker. 

“The integration of our Cloud Fax Services and Accounts Receivable automation solutions with SAP Business ByDesign will help to strengthen our presence in the SAP ecosystem and opens our solutions to a broader base of customers. Whether a customer needs to fax or mail a document, or automate AR, we can help them accelerate the exchange of critical business documents, eliminate paper, reduce costs and improve their business processes.”

SAP Business ByDesign is a fully integrated business management solution dedicated to companies in the small and midsize enterprise (SME) market as well as to subsidiaries of large enterprises running SAP solutions in their headquarters.

All of Esker’s cloud solutions are available directly from the SAP Store — the online e-commerce channel or “e-channel” for enterprise solutions and services from SAP and its partners.
