Corrao Group Partners with Sage to Slash Late Payment Collection Time by up to Half

Integration of Corrao Group’s EZ-AR with Sage Business Cloud simplifies the collection process with real-time tracking and automatic follow up capabilities

The Corrao Group, a national Account-Based Marketing (ABM) Salesforce® partner, today announced a partnership with Sage, (FTSE: SGE), the market leader in cloud business management. Under the terms of the agreement, The Corrao Group is offering EZ-AR™ to integrate with Sage Business Cloud Financials to help companies reduce collection time on outstanding invoices by as much as 50 percent.

This integrated offering enables companies to streamline the payment process. From one-click invoice generation and real-time tracking to automated follow-ups, EZ-AR is designed to help companies sharply reduce the man-hours and effort needed to collect the money they are owed in a timely manner.

The EZ-AR for Financials package will be sold exclusively through third-party integrators, giving them the opportunity to leverage their relationships with existing customers and offer an additional value proposition for prospects.

“Businesses of any size can feel the impact of not getting paid on time, yet small-to-mid-sized organizations are particularly vulnerable to the financial stress associated with late payments, said Jennifer Warawa, Executive Vice President of Partners, Accountants and Alliances at Sage. “An economic report published last year by Sage revealed that more than 30 percent of companies experience or expect to experience late payments, with more than one-fourth of all payments made late to mid-sized firms. The Corrao Group’s EZ-AR capabilities now integrated with Sage Business Cloud Financials allows us to address the late payments crisis so companies can spend more time growing their business and less time chasing payments.”

Since Sage built its financials platform on Salesforce, the integration between its software and EZ-AR is seamless, making it possible for customers to gain immediate benefits regardless of company size.

“C-suite teams often struggle with managing cash flow,” said Jack Corrao, Managing Partner of the Corrao Group. “By leveraging the market-leading capabilities of Salesforce, and integrating EZ-AR into Sage Financials, small and mid-sized companies will gain greater insights into their finances. Working together, Sage Financials and EZ-AR automate the process, ensuring that outstanding invoices are continuously tracked until they are paid. This enables workers to be more productive and increases positive cash flow, all of which benefits the bottom line.”

“The combination of Salesforce technology and Sage financial capabilities is a powerful business systems disruption in progress,” said Bryan Baggett, president at FullCloud, a Georgia-based integrator. “We believe that the combination of Corrao Group EZ-AR and FullCloud products and services brings our joint clients a unique, powerful solution. We’re very excited about our new partnership and also look forward to interesting new solutions in the future.”

The per-month cost to access the cloud-based suite starts at $495; unlimited usage is capped at $1,495 per month.
