Tired of Long Supplier Onboarding Cycles?
Manually onboarding suppliers wastes time, creates compliance gaps, and delays production. Get instant access to a network of pre-vetted partners, automate security reviews, and eliminate redundant paperwork with built-in CMMC and CCRA support—so you can onboard faster and reduce risk from day one.
Still Manually Updating Orders in Your ERP?
Manual updates slow the order-to-cash business process and increase the risk of errors. Automate PO intake and demand schedule changes to keep your ERP accurate in real-time—reducing lead time violations, fulfillment risks, and costly delays.
Suppliers Missing Ship Dates?
Late shipments disrupt your schedule and put contracts at risk. Automate PO workflows and advance ship notices (ASNs) with direct integration to supplier systems—no extra logins, no email chains. Improve fulfillment accuracy and keep orders on track with secure, real-time collaboration.

FAQ for Operations and Procurement Teams
What is order-to-cash?
Order-to-cash is the business process that begins when a customer places an order and ends when payment is received and reconciled. In between, it moves through contracts, program management, supply chain, and finance. For defense and aerospace contractors, O2C involves meeting compliance obligations under FAR, DFARS, ITAR, EAR, and CMMC requirements at each stage.
What causes delays in the order-to-cash business process?
Common causes include:
- Manual data entry across disconnected systems
- Misaligned demand and supply schedules
- Inefficient supplier onboarding
- Limited visibility into multi-tier supplier networks
- The burden of meeting compliance requirements across multiple portals and formats
Errors at any stage can trigger invoice rejections, shipment holds, or delayed payment. Exostar helps businesses to overcome these challenges by automating workflows, enabling real-time data exchange with customers and suppliers, and embedding compliance into every step of the process.
Is Exostar's O2C platform built for regulated industries?
Yes. Exostar’s O2C solutions are purpose-built for aerospace, defense, life sciences, and other regulated industries.
