NECS and Wholesail Partner to Streamline Accounts Receivable for Food Distributors

For nearly 40 years, NECS has provided specialized software to serve the specific needs of food distributors, helping customers manage orders, production, delivery, accounting, and traceability. NECS’ customers rely on them for innovation. So when entrée users asked for a way to streamline the accounts receivable process, NECS chose Wholesail as a partner.

Wholesail is the leading accounts receivable platform for the food and beverage industry – helping 400+ food distributors simplify the accounts receivable process and get paid faster while enhancing customer relationships.

Wholesail Helps NECS Customers Manage AR Efficiently

NECS and Wholesail understand that chasing large numbers of overdue invoices is a challenge for food distributors. To help, Wholesail integrates directly with entrée to give customers access to: 

  • Workflow tools for accounts receivable reps that improve their collections efforts and save time
  • Customizable online forms to fast track credit applications and new customer onboarding to help evaluate risk
  • Automated email and SMS communications connected to a 24/7 customer portal, allowing customers to stay on top of their invoices, manage their account, and pay online

Mutual customers like Cotati Food Service experience benefits such as:

  • Improved accounts receivable rep productivity, saving 40 hours/month per 500 buyers
  • Receiving payments 35% faster 
  • Significant reduction in credit card fees

Jonathan Greene, VP of Customer Development of NECS, said “Bringing in Wholesail as an integrated AR management option for our food distribution partners greatly adds to the power and overall performance of the entrée platform. These more advanced features are proven to reduce collection and account management efforts, minimize uncollectable debt, cut days sales outstanding, reduce electronic payment fees, and improve customer service.
