How It Works

AI Matching
AI parses payment details, matches to open invoices by amount, invoice number, or customer name
Auto-Apply & Update
Auto-apply matched payments, route exceptions to collector, update AR aging in real-time
The Cash Application Pipeline

Partial Payment Handling
Correctly apply partial payments and track outstanding balances to maturity
AR Aging Auto-Update
After matching, update AR aging report in real-time with full payment history
Before & After
- AR team manually keys remittance data from email or lockbox file into a spreadsheet — 15-20 min per payment batch
- Payments matched to open invoices using basic Excel VLOOKUP by invoice number — fails when numbers don't match exactly
- 5-day backlog of unmatched cash builds up during high-volume periods (month-end, quarter-end)
- No systematic handling of partial payments — outstanding balances tracked by memory, not system
- Lockbox file downloaded manually each morning and loaded into a shared folder for processing
- AR aging report exported to Excel every morning — data is always one day old by the time it reaches the collector
- Exception handling done ad-hoc — collector decides individually what to do with each unmatched payment
- Remittance data pulled directly from email, EDI, or lockbox — zero manual data entry for standard payments
- AI matches 89% of payments automatically using multi-strategy matching including fuzzy amount and date tolerance
- Real-time cash application — unmatched items surface in an exception queue within minutes of payment receipt
- Partial payments tracked automatically with remaining balance and days-past-due flags for collector follow-up
- Lockbox integrated via secure file transfer — daily batches processed automatically with no manual intervention
- Live AR aging dashboard refreshes continuously — collectors start each morning with a clean, current view
- AI surfaces the reason each payment could not be matched, with suggested actions — collectors work from structured guidance
How It Compares
Our lockbox was processing 200 payments a day but we had a 5-day backlog of unmatched cash. Now everything matches in real-time and our collections team works from a clean AR aging every morning. The AI doesn't just speed up matching — it identified that 30% of our unmatched items were actually customer payments sitting in a suspense account waiting for manual resolution.
