Accountant managing up to 80 vendors monthly struggles to proactively notify vendors of payment delays due to time constraints, risking vendor relationships and supply disruptions.
Existing accounting software focuses on payment processing but lacks automated, proactive vendor communication for delays, and there is no tool to prioritize which vendors need notification based on relationship risk.
