Sample use cases
What this looks like in practice
Three concrete scenarios where teams deploy Expense Report 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.
