    The problem

    Manual AP/AR is killing your cash flow

    Your AP team processes invoices by hand — data entry, 3-way matching, approval routing, payment scheduling. Each invoice takes 10–15 minutes. At 200+ invoices per month, that's 30–50 hours of pure manual labor.

    On the AR side, collections are reactive. You chase payments after they're late instead of preventing delinquency. Your DSO creeps up, your cash flow becomes unpredictable, and you're making decisions based on last month's data.

    Meanwhile, your cash flow forecast lives in a spreadsheet that's already outdated by the time it's finished. You don't know your real cash position — you estimate it.
