What our Customers are Saying “MC2 is the first tool I have ever seen that uses only our undisputed open A/R, and takes into consideration our customer's historical payment patterns to derive an overall cash receipt forecast. The tool has improved my ability 10-fold to not only forecast our cash receipts activity, but also when to quickly identify variances from actual cash receipts. MC2 represents a quantum leap forward for our company from both a collection and a cash management perspective.” – Steve Font, Corporate Director of Treasury, Turner Industries
