Key takeaways from the study include:

• Smaller companies prefer receiving paper checks from customers at a rate 2.5 times greater than larger companies.
• Companies using electronic methods when submitting invoices prefer ACH payment to paper check payment by a margin of 9 to 1.
• Receipt of paper checks at off-site lockboxes are very rare for companies with less than $5 million in revenue but are very common for larger companies with more than $1 billion in revenue.
• Supplier organizations are much more likely to accept early payment discounts from customers (67%) and third parties (64%) if they use an ERP solution to submit invoices.
• Supplier organizations with revenue over $1 billion and invoice volumes over 10,000 are much more likely to receive remittance data from customer portals (38% and 39%, respectively) compared to suppliers with revenue less than $5 million (5%) and invoice volume less than 500 (7%).

"As an extension of our original 2015 Perceptions Study, this deep dive allows us to share more detailed data regarding how suppliers receive customer payment and the inherent differences when the data is segmented by supplier revenue, invoice volume and industry," said Ernie Martin, Founder and Managing Director for Receivable Savvy.

The next study to be released by Receivable Savvy, as part of the Perceptions series, will be a deep dive report on invoicing in late spring.
