Most of our invoices auto-renew through Sage Intacct, so we don\u2019t need to touch them.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-3x-faster-close-and-2-5m-in-cash-flow-acceleration-nbsp\"><strong>A 3x faster close and $2.5m in cash flow acceleration<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a huge transformational gain at MotionPoint, which provides technology and services to translate and localize website text, audio\/video, images, and other content in more than 40 languages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breakthrough efficiency allowed the Florida-based company to leave two full-time employee accounting vacancies unfilled. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now with just two people accomplishing in two business days what used to take four people about 18 business days, MotionPoint is saving in the range of $420,000 in allocated costs a year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost savings are just one benefit of MotionPoint&#8217;s upgrade to Sage Intacct billing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/accounting-software\/revenue-recognition\/\">revenue recognition software<\/a>. The company has also:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduced the monthly close from three weeks to six days&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut revenue recognition time from three weeks to push-button immediacy&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced days sales outstanding by 20%&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accelerated $2.5m in operating cash flow&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gained deep new insights to optimize profitability&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-super-simple-rev-rec-eliminates-spreadsheet-toil-nbsp\"><strong>\u2018Super simple\u2019 rev rec eliminates spreadsheet toil<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation throughout the order-to-cash cycle is driving new productivity for MotionPoint.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data is moved from a proprietary MotionPoint system to Sage Intacct, where Amanda&#8217;s team examines it for any variances that warrant a closer look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRev rec is super simple,\u201d she says. \u201cWe just click on the contract schedule to recognize revenue without having to touch it, without having to keep another Excel spreadsheet with all the deferred revenue on it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monthly journal entries to the general ledgetr are specific to each customer and done automatically, without the manual work of the past. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Amanda and her team have newfound time, data, and tools for incisive reporting that generates insights for data-driven business decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-data-nerd-reporting-delivers-critical-insights-nbsp\"><strong>\u2018Data nerd\u2019 reporting delivers critical insights<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Sage Intacct, Amanda can run slice-and-dice analytics on profitability by industry, services licensed, and individual customers, as well as connect revenue to expenses. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, Sage Intacct dashboards are eliminating the need for specialized business intelligence (BI) tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can run margins on just a single customer, which we couldn\u2019t do before,&#8221; says Amanda. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are so many different insights that we\u2019re getting because we added the Sage Intacct Contracts module. I\u2019m a data nerd, and it is so cool to run reports this way and quickly get our information.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sage Intacct is helping the MotionPoint executive team track margins by subscriptions versus services, as well as the important DSO metric.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shifting staff attention from manual work to collections has helped reduce DSO while accelerating cash flow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MotionPoint is using Sage Intacct to create ideal customer profiles, or ICPs, to better understand different types of customers and tailor solutions to their needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With those insights, the sales team can better highlight MotionPoint\u2019s broad offerings, ranging from both AI and human translations to support, ticketing, and
