It’s no secret cash flow management is at the core of all organizations, particularly small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs). Although going digital fuels business growth, many companies struggle to perform and adapt to new technologies.

  • OCR – document and data capture
  • Paying client bills
  • Creating workflows (approvals and more)
  • Categorizing and coding bills and receipts
  • Managing client vendors
  • Issue and control smart credit cards
  • Expense reimbursements
