How to cut DSO with door-step invoicing

By Rosa Park7 min readOrderPulse

Days sales outstanding is the quiet drag on a distributor's cash. The fastest lever most teams overlook is where and when the invoice is created.

Why the door matters

An invoice created and accepted at delivery starts the clock immediately — and often gets paid on the spot or same cycle. An invoice created that night, mailed, and chased starts days behind.

Compounding effects

Faster invoicing pairs with cleaner data: correct prices and signatures mean fewer disputes, and fewer disputes mean fewer reasons for a customer to sit on a bill.

Making it real

Move invoicing to the point of delivery, capture a signature, and post to your accounting system the same day. Collections get easier because the paperwork is already right.

Key takeaways

  • Where and when you invoice is a direct lever on DSO.
  • Door-step invoicing starts the payment clock immediately.
  • Clean, signed invoices reduce disputes and speed collections.
