Switching AP/AR Providers? How Centime’s 7-21 Day Onboarding Gets You Live Fast

Switching AP/AR providers can feel daunting. The thought of potential downtime, the complexity of data migration, and the challenge of getting your team up to speed can make any business hesitate. But what if the process didn’t have to be painful? At Centime, we understand the fears associated with change management, and that’s why we’ve streamlined our onboarding process to get you up and running in just 7-21 days—smoothly and efficiently.

‍

In this article, we’ll walk you through our 7-21 day onboarding journey, showing you exactly how we minimize disruption, ensure seamless integration, and provide the support you need to succeed from day one.

Understanding the Importance of Efficient Onboarding

When it comes to switching financial systems, onboarding is everything. Poorly executed onboarding can lead to significant downtime, frustrated employees, and lost revenue. Yet, despite these risks, many companies continue to use outdated systems simply because they fear the disruption that a change might bring.

‍

At Centime, we’ve built our onboarding process around minimizing these risks. We know that time is money, and that’s why we focus on getting you live with as little friction as possible, while also ensuring that your team is fully trained and ready to maximize the value of our platform.

The 7-21 Day Onboarding Journey

Our onboarding journey is designed to be comprehensive, yet efficient. Here’s how we do it:

‍

Kickoff: Day 1

The journey starts on day one with the Kickoff phase, where we immediately integrate with your existing systems to get the ball rolling.
