Albuquerque, New Mexico
Advantive Distribution One
Gorman Industries is a HVAC wholesaler based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and a member of the Blue Hawk buying group. They are the premier supplier of heating and air conditioning products and parts to HVAC contractors in New Mexico.
The Challenge
When the Gorman team discovered Dill, they were looking to enhance their operations in three key areas:
Improving the customer experience: Providing a seamless and convenient payment process.
Speeding up payments: Addressing delays caused by late or forgotten payments.
Reducing manual AR tasks: Freeing up time spent on repetitive tasks such as sending collection emails, handling invoice requests, and processing payments over the phone.
The Solution
Gorman Industries implemented Dill’s payment portal and payment reminder features, integrating them seamlessly with their Advantive Distribution One ERP system. The setup process was straightforward, allowing Gorman to begin benefiting from Dill’s tools quickly.
The Results
By adopting Dill, Gorman Industries has experienced significant improvements:
Faster Payments: Automated past-due reminders have been instrumental in prompting customers to pay earlier. According to Accounting Manager Alicia Ontiveros, many customers have said, “Oh, it just slipped my mind,” when responding to reminders—often paying within 1-2 days of receiving one. This has resulted in faster cash flow and fewer overdue invoices.
Time Savings: Alicia estimates that Dill saves her 10 hours per month by automating tasks that previously consumed much of her time:
Processing payments over the phone.
Responding to invoice requests and inquiries.
Sending collection emails.
Improved Customer Convenience: Customers now use the Dill portal to access invoices and make payments at their convenience. The portal allows them to link and reuse payment methods, making the process even faster and easier. This shift has significantly reduced the volume of calls and manual payment processing.
With Dill handling routine tasks like payment reminders, Alicia has been able to focus on customers who are more significantly behind on their payments. This targeted approach has strengthened Gorman’s collection efforts and improved overall cash flow.
Conclusion
By leveraging Dill, Gorman Industries has modernized its accounts receivable process, providing:
Faster payment cycles.
Improved efficiency and time savings.
A better customer experience.
For Gorman Industries, Dill has proven to be a transformative tool that streamlines operations and supports their commitment to exceptional customer service.
