  • Cash Application: Extracting remittance data from any source in any format, and applying it to open obligations, resulting in auto-cash hit rates approaching 95%. digital assistants also execute automatic small balance write-offs, create and route deductions, and assign reason codes.

They also route credit memos for approval, then match the credit to the deduction and clear them from the AR Ledger.
  • Multiple other Data Capture and Financial Operations tasks.
