About

🟦 Why AR hurts In a world of instant everything, clients won’t wait for batch jobs and paperwork—they want real-time, self-service billing. Yet many SAP-based organisations still e-mail PDFs, chase remittances, and field endless “Where’s my invoice?” calls. Result: bloated DSO, overloaded service desks, and cash that lands weeks late. 🟦 How we fix it I co-founded KUMULON to turn the customer experience into your cash-flow advantage. KUMOsphere is a 100 % SAP-native B2B payment portal that you make available to your customers. They can: • View every open item and download invoices • Pay instantly (card, PayPal, bank) or part-pay / split-pay • Dispute charges and track status — no e-mails, no spreadsheets All data stays inside SAP S/4HANA—no middleware, no replication, full clean-core compliance. 🟦 What “good” looks like ✦ Noticeably lower Days Sales Outstanding after go-live ✦ Significantly fewer invoice-related enquiries to shared-service desks ✦ Runs on SAP BTP, fetches data in real time from S/4HANA, and stores zero sensitive data outside the core 🟦 Let’s talk Own cash-flow health and want customers to enjoy paying you sooner? Hit Connect with a short note and let’s explore quick wins. 💡 When I’m not streamlining AR… …you’ll find me on the tennis court—always chasing the next efficiency boost, on the court and in finance.
