LONDON and NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- YayPay announced today it has been recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Accounts Receivable Automation Applications for Midmarket 2020-2021 Vendor Assessment (doc # US47032320, December 2020). The new recognition comes after YayPay was previously named a Major Player in a similar IDC MarketScape report issued just two years ago.

Founded in 2015 and acquired by Quadient in July 2020, YayPay helps companies automate their accounts receivable (AR) processes, transforming a critical but complex back-office function in an increasingly digital economy. The AR process has become even more critical during the pandemic and economic downturn as companies have rushed to shore up liquidity and retain, as well as build upon, existing customer relationships.

YayPay's software as a service (SaaS) platform identifies credit risks and helps reduce potential losses from bad debts. The software automates the entire AR process, from invoice generation and follow-up, to customer communication, cash collection and credit risk assessment, all of which are based on data and not manual interventions, thereby reducing errors and boosting productivity. YayPay's platform is leveraged by more than 3,000 users globally and integrates with other software applications including ERP, CRM, billing and email.

The IDC MarketScape report highlighted YayPay's investment into the vision of "Autonomous Commerce," incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to adapt and learn from data. YayPay combines AI with real-time reporting to allow companies to better predict when their invoices will be paid, providing transparency and visibility into the AR collection process, cash flow management and bad debt risk.

On average, companies that use YayPay's AR software achieve a 34% reduction in Day Sales Outstanding (DSO) or "debtor days," and a 3x increase in productivity. Over the last 12 months, YayPay's customer base has more than doubled as more companies have begun using its AR solution.
