Sample use cases
What this looks like in practice
Three concrete scenarios where teams deploy AR / Collections Agent today. Your engagement starts with one of these (or your own variant) and expands from there.
AP automation end-to-end
Vendor emails an invoice — extracted, matched to PO, routed for approval based on amount + dept, posted to QuickBooks, paid on terms. Finance reviews exceptions only.
Friendly collections that actually work
Overdue invoices trigger a multi-touch sequence — friendly at 5 days, firm at 30, payment-plan offer at 60 — with tone tuned to your brand.
Live cash forecast
Bank + AR + AP + payroll merged into one weekly cash position with scenarios — CFO sees the runway impact of any decision in seconds.
