Frequently asked questions
What is accounts receivable process automation?
Accounts receivable process automation uses technology to streamline and digitize manual AR tasks from invoice delivery to payment collection and reconciliation. It improves efficiency, accuracy, and cash flow while reducing costs by replacing repetitive manual processes with intelligent workflows.
What's considered a normal timeframe for accounts receivable to remain outstanding?
Payment terms vary by industry and customer. Some businesses have shorter cycles while others extend longer terms. The key is to establish clear terms and use automated reminders to manage receivables.
What are the three types of accounts receivable?
They are trade receivables (amounts owed for credit sales), notes receivable (formal written promises with payment terms), and other receivables (such as interest or insurance claims).
Can you automate accounts receivable?
Yes. Billtrust’s AR automation platform digitizes the entire order-to-cash workflow—Credit management, Invoice delivery, Payment acceptance, Cash Application, Collections, and analytics. Its AI-powered tools dramatically reduce manual work and exceptions, enabling scalable operations across distributor businesses while accelerating cash flow and improving operational efficiency.
How much does AR automation cost?
AR automation pricing is tailored based on module usage, transaction volume, and service level requirements. Most distributor clients benefit from tiered pricing models and managed service options that deliver strong ROI—often justified through efficiency gains, reduced DSO, and lower operational costs. The best approach is to schedule a consultation to discuss your specific requirements and receive a customized proposal.
What is the AR automation process?
The AR automation process encompasses credit onboarding and validation through automated risk assessment and workflows, invoice generation and digital delivery with multi-channel options aligned to customer preferences, payment receipt and processing across ACH, virtual cards, portals and other methods, cash application and reconciliation using AI and machine learning for high straight-through processing rates, and collections with analytics for automated outreach and performance reporting. Billtrust orchestrates these phases through integrated AI tools and exception handling dashboards for workflow management.
What are the strategies for accounts receivable department in 2025?
Leading AR teams focus on AI-assisted decisioning and predictive analytics, early invoice presentment through digital channels, self-service customer portals, data-driven collections prioritization, and unified AR platforms that integrate all receivables functions. These strategies help reduce DSO, control costs, and enhance customer experience while positioning finance teams as contributors to business growth and cash flow optimization.
