Deskera and Cashfree Make Digital Payments Easier for Indian Businesses

If you have ever sent an invoice and then followed up for payments, then you know how painful the invoice-to-payment process can be.

First there is invoice creation. Getting all the GST, RCM, TDS etc details right is super-important.

Then making sure the invoice is sent on time. Followed by sending reminders to make sure the invoice is seen and acted on.

And then you find out that the payment is delayed because no one was around to deposit the cheque.

And it isn't over even if the payment is made.

You still have to reconcile payments, bank transactions, invoices, AR etc, and make sure GST and other financial reports are accurate and up-to-date.

Nearly two-thirds of all businesses face cash flow issues at some point in time and delayed invoice payments is among the top 3 reasons.

Worldwide, a third of businesses report waiting more than 30 days past the due date to get paid. Note – this is not 30 days from the invoice date. It is 30 days from the "due date".

This is where Deskera and Cashfree come in.
