**Order-to-Cash (O2C)** is the time it takes from the customer placing the order to the money hitting your account. If your company takes 5 days to process the order and another 5 to invoice, you are financing the customer for free for 10 days. Reducing O2C improves cash flow without selling more.

### **Eliminating Time Gaps**

Where does the money stop?

1. Salesperson delays submitting the order.
2. Inventory delays picking.
3. Finance delays invoicing.

### **Accelerating with Jestor**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **Instant Invoicing:** As soon as Logistics marks "Shipped," Jestor triggers Invoice and Bill issuance automatically (ERP integration).
- **Prior Credit Check:** The system checks credit at the moment of order, preventing sales to non-payers (which jams the cycle later).
- **Proactive Billing:** The bill is sent via WhatsApp on the day of issuance, not waiting for snail mail.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**What is the reduction goal?** Try to reduce internal processing time (before shipping) to under 24h. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).
