Manufacturers get real-time financial insight, improved operational efficiency, and better customer and vendor experiences – all within their ERP.

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ECI Software Solutions, a leader in AI-powered, cloud-based business management software and services, today announced its NET1 Commerce Suite for North American manufacturers. The modern self-service portal is designed to automate and simplify critical financial processes, improve cash flow predictability, and provide real-time visibility into financial activity

Integrated within ECI’s manufacturing ERPs Deacom, JobBOSS², and M1, the NET1 Commerce Suite gives manufacturers a secure, intuitive platform to manage invoices, payments, and account activity in real-time. By eliminating the manual tasks associated with accounts receivable (AR) and accounts payable (AP) functions, manufacturers can save time, accelerate incoming payments, and strategically time payouts to optimize working capital. This unified view across receivables and payables improves short term forecasting and overall cash control.

“For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), cash in hand is critical” said Andres Ricaurte, President, Payments at ECI Software Solutions. “SMBs are the lifeblood of the global economy and in times of uncertainty, real visibility into financial processes is a true advantage - helping them bring cash in faster, hold it longer, and lower administrative costs. The NET1 Commerce Suite gives manufacturers the clarity and control they need to manage cash flow more effectively and improve profitability, while also laying the foundation for AI-driven automation.”

Robust AR automation (available with JobBOSS², and M1) allows SMBs to:

Improve Days Sales Outstanding: Configurable automatic reminders as due dates approach (or when invoices are past due) can simplify collections, shorten the payment cycle and accelerate cash flow.

Automate the invoice-to-cash process: Automatically generated and delivered invoices improve accuracy, accelerate billing, and give real-time visibility into expected incoming cash.

Click2Pay: Payments can be easily and conveniently made via an email link which reduces friction for customers and improves on-time payment rates.

Powerful, fully integrated AP automation (available with Deacom, JobBOSS², and M1) allows manufacturers to:

Maximize cash availability: Scheduled payouts let manufacturers keep money until it’s due, helping them better manage working capital without risking late payments.

Increase efficiency: Automating and streamlining back-office tasks reduces costs, eliminates errors, and saves staff hours that can be redirected to higher-value activities.

Improve visibility: A real-time view of invoices due, payment status, and scheduled payouts gives teams a forward-looking view of cash needs and enables more accurate short-term cash planning.

Strengthen security and trust: A secure, reliable, online portal provides vendors with predictable, transparent payments, reinforcing trust and strengthening long-term partnerships.

AR and AP have traditionally been manual and disconnected, slowing cash flow and adding complexity. ECI’s NET1 Commerce Suite unifies both processes in one automated, real-time platform, giving manufacturers clearer visibility into money coming in and going out. Faster collections and easier customer billing strengthen the AR experience, while predictable, secure payments enhance vendor trust. By streamlining the full cash cycle, ECI’s NET1 Commerce Suite improves financial control and creates stronger, more resilient business relationships.
