Get Orders Approved Fast & Eliminate AR Bottlenecks with New Syncore Tools 

March 2nd, 2026

Promo follows fast in the footsteps of retail trends. 

According to PPAI research, fast, convenient online orders are the number one priority for distributor end clients.  

What’s slowing distributors down from faster orders? Two of the most persistent bottlenecks we’re seeing in the order lifecycle: client approvals and accounts receivable.  

That’s why we recently launched tools for faster Online Order Approvals and Automatic AR Statements in Syncore. This makes the client ordering and payment experience fast, flawless, and convenient. Plus, it keeps cash flowing without adding manual work for sales, service, or finance teams.  

The Faster Way to Get Client Approvals  

Getting orders approved shouldn’t slow down the order process. If approvals still look like long email threads, lost attachments, unclear feedback, and delays – now is a great time to rethink your process. 

Online Order Approvals brings that entire process directly into Syncore. Instead of chasing responses, distributors can send a single live link that allows clients to review and approve Sales Orders, Acknowledgements, Proforma invoices, and any attached artwork files. Clients can approve, request edits, or leave comments – any time, from anywhere – without logging into a separate system or downloading files.  

Syncore’s Online Approvals gives distributors: 

  • Faster turnaround: Approvals are no longer a bottleneck for order processing 
  • Less back and forth: Clear, centralized client feedback that reduces errors 
  • Full visibility: Every approval and comment is tracked in Syncore’s Job Log to keep clean records 

Unlike other platforms, everything is built directly into Syncore for order processing, which is important. There’s no reliance on third-party approval tools that can introduce mismatched data, broken workflows, or manual workarounds. And because approvals are part of Syncore’s broader order workflow, they also connect to a continuous thread of accurate data from proposal through processing and invoicing.  

This addition lends itself naturally to the self-service client experience distributors are increasingly expected to deliver – one where clients can interact quickly online. 

Automatic AR Statements: Scalable Collections Without Manual Work 

Following up on outstanding balances is critical, but manually creating and sending AR statements every month doesn’t scale – and it certainly doesn’t provide a great client experience. If your finance team is still exporting data from one system, reconciling it against another, and manually sending statements client by client, Automatic AR Statements in Syncore would remove that burden entirely. 

Distributors can now create and send AR statements automatically each month directly from Syncore, ensuring taxes, invoices, and balances always match the same thread of order data. Statements are scheduled to be sent on the first business day of each month – without finance teams having to remember, reconcile, or manually generate each one.  

Syncore’s Automatic AR Statements give finance teams: 

  • Easy AR processes that help finance teams scale without adding headcount 
  • Improved cash flow through consistent, timely follow-up 
  • A more professional client experience with clean, easy-to-read statements 

Because finance tools are built into Syncore, distributors don’t have to depend on one-way accounting integrations or AR adjacent workflows that still require manual steps and reconciliation. With tools like AR Statements native to Syncore, distributors get cleaner data and workflows designed for efficient daily, weekly, and monthly operations.  

That difference becomes especially important as volume grows. 

Summary: Designed for Long-term Scale 

Online Approvals and Automatic AR Statements may solve different problems – but overall, they help: 

  • Sales teams spend less time chasing approvals & outstanding invoices 
  • Service teams move orders forward with clarity & confidence 
  • Finance teams collect faster without manual effort 
  • Clients see a smoother, more modern experience at every step 

Online Approvals and Automatic AR Statements can help your team work faster, scale smarter, and deliver a more professional client experience – without adding more work for your teams. Click here to learn more about Facilisgroup’s 360 Promo Platform, Syncore.
