Together, the companies’ AR service has launched as a FinanceSuite AutoBank Automatic Cash Application and eFLOW AR project. The initiative allows corporate customers to automate a process that is often done manually, taking up valuable time, manpower and resources for suppliers, buyers and manufacturers.

The eFLOW solution automatically extracts crucial data from AR documents and sends that to the FinanceSuite AutoBank Automatic Cash Application for processing. Reports say eFLOW also automatically verifies and classifies the information collected.

With new companies offering innovative solutions to these issues, solutions providers are working to streamline the process through automated and standardized services.
