Smaller companies, including National Financial Partners, Carlile Transportation and Columbia Sportswear, are turning to technology to drive efficiency and improve cash flow.

A survey by Aberdeen Group shows that while best-performing companies are trying to get customers to pay more quickly, they are also paying their own bills more promptly.
