Technologies
How It Works
For accounts payable & accounts receivable oversight, the system draws on the relevant operational data and applies the appropriate analytical models. Machine learning models identify the patterns in historical data that most strongly predict the target outcome, then apply those patterns to score new inputs. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.
What Changes
Straight-through processing rates exceed 80% for standard invoices. AI predicts which receivables will pay late and recommends proactive collection actions.
What Stays
Exception handling and vendor/customer relationships. Dispute resolution, payment term negotiations, and escalations require human judgment.

What to track and how to calculate it
Time per cycle

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.
Quality of output
How to calculate
Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.
