AR Automation & Integrated Receivables

Accounts receivable automation software helps finance teams reduce manual work tied to collecting, matching, posting, and reconciling incoming payments. Instead of managing checks, ACH payments, remittance data, and invoice matching across disconnected systems, AR automation centralizes the workflow into one platform.

Modern AR automation platforms can also integrate directly with ERP and accounting systems to accelerate cash application and improve visibility into incoming cash flow.

AR automation gives finance teams real-time visibility into incoming payments, unapplied cash, exceptions, and reconciliation status across all payment channels.

By reducing delays between payment receipt and ERP posting, businesses gain a more accurate view of cash position, working capital, and outstanding receivables.

Yes.  FTNI's Etran AR automation platform integrates directly with ERP and accounting systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and Sage.

These integrations help automate cash application, eliminate manual journal entries, reduce re-keying errors, and accelerate month-end close processes.

Most enterprise AR automation solutions support multiple payment types including ACH, EFT, checks, wire transfers, credit cards, debit cards, lockbox payments, mobile payments, and online customer portals. This allows finance teams to manage all receivables activity from a single platform.

Automated cash application uses payment data, remittance information, invoice details, and configurable matching rules to automatically apply incoming payments to the correct customer accounts and invoices. This reduces manual reconciliation work and improves posting accuracy. 

Integrated receivables solutions help finance teams reduce manual data entry, accelerate reconciliation, improve reporting accuracy, shorten month-end close cycles, and eliminate disconnected workflows. They also help reduce payment exceptions and provide stronger visibility across the receivables process.

AR automation is commonly used by organizations managing high payment volumes, complex reconciliation workflows, or multiple payment channels.

This includes healthcare organizations, financial institutions, insurance providers, distributors, utilities, property management companies, manufacturers, and enterprise B2B finance teams.

Yes. Enterprise integrated receivables platforms are typically built with layered security and compliance controls to protect sensitive financial and customer data.

Etran's compliance controls include PCI DSS compliance, SOC 2 certifications, HIPAA compliance, encrypted data storage, role-based access controls, and audit tracking capabilities.

No. Ascendant enables you to receive international payments without opening local bank accounts. Our virtual accounts and global network handle collection and settlement for you. A virtual account is a foreign currency account that lets your business receive international payments as if you had a local bank account in that country. It’s held in your name and doesn’t require a physical presence or local entity.

In most cases, you’ll have access to received funds the same day or by the next business day—timing depends on the currency and country involved. Our global payment network is built for speed, with local clearing in over 210 countries and territories. That means your funds get to you fast, without getting held up in banking limbo.

Our online platform, aPay, provides real-time reporting and automated reconciliation tools. You’ll always know who paid, how much, and when it landed—no spreadsheets or guesswork required.
