The biggest win

Cash applied the day it lands

Unapplied cash hides who owes you. Your agent applies it the same day and chases the rest.

Todaythe usual way
  • Payment sits unapplied
  • Applied to invoices End of the week
  • Deal lost. Collections called a customer who had already paid.
VS
With your agent✦ Instant
  • Picked up the moment it lands
  • Matched, applied, short-pays flagged same morning
  • Clean aging. Cash collected sooner.

Receivables are messy is messy

  • Unapplied cash. Money in, aging still wrong
  • Short-pays. Deductions nobody chases
  • Wrong calls. Chasing paid invoices
  • Slow follow-up. 60 days becomes 90

Your process

Built around how you work

Not a template. Your steps, your rules, your approvals.

  1. 01

    Explain it once

    Talk or type, like training a new hire. Hand over your SOP, price book and a few past quotes.

    When a request comes in, first check: customer identified? If not, AR identifies.

    Watch it work

    It works a real job on your screen. You correct it the way you'd correct a person.

    Use the 2026 price book, not last year's.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Do we have to buy new software or connect anything?

No. The agent works in the software you already use, with the same screens, keyboard and mouse your team uses, under logins you give it. Nothing to replace and nothing to integrate.

How is the agent built?

You explain the job the way you'd train a new hire: talk or type, and hand over your SOP and a few real examples. Then it does a real one live while you watch and correct it. Your process is saved as a flowchart and a written procedure, and every run follows the version you approved.

Will it chase customers too hard?

It sends the reminders you write, on the schedule you set, and stops the moment a customer disputes or a person takes over. Anything over your limit goes to you to call.

Can we change the process later?

Any time. Add a step, change a rule, move an approval or drop one. Tell the agent what changed, review the new flowchart and save it as a new version.

Where does it run, and is it safe?

On your computers, in your signed-in sessions. Logins are kept in a vault and never shown to the AI. Every run is recorded with screenshots, values read and approvals given.
