Key Takeaways: Top Solutions at a Glance

How Experts Evaluate Accounts Receivable Software

Our survey of 500 finance leaders revealed three qualities that separate leading AR software providers from the rest: customer-centricity, modernity, and innovation. These are the traits that finance leaders say give them confidence in a partner, and the benchmarks they use to make decisions.

1. Customer-centric providers: Customer-centricity is about your provider being invested beyond a product offering. They’re truly committed to your success – offering proactive guidance, adapting when priorities shift, and jumping in when urgent issues arise.
2. Modern providers: Being modern is about keeping pace with emerging financial challenges and the major forces driving change, be it global eInvoicing mandates or evolving data security requirements.
3. Innovative providers: An innovative AR provider leads with ingenuity and forward-leaning new capabilities. They anticipate what’s next and explore how groundbreaking advances in machine learning and predictive AI analytics can strengthen collections, streamline cash application, and move working capital faster.

What are the key features to look for in AR software

• Trevipay’s “Your Evaluation Lens: Choosing A/R Automation Software” section
• HighRadius’s “What Are The Top Features to Look for in an Accounts Receivable System” section

Start with their ability to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems. Research shows one of the biggest barriers in automating AR processes is integrating AR with other systems (55%), followed by concerns about accuracy (39%), complicated workflows (38%), and data quality issues (38%).

The best AR software should connect easily to your ERP, CRM, and payment platforms, minimizing manual data entry and sync errors. Look for vendors with proven, pre-built connectors and a track record of smooth implementations with systems similar to yours.

Check out this guide to ERP integration.

• A total AR solution with software modules that address everything from invoicing and eInvoice compliance to payments, cash application, collections and credit management.
• Centralized data management and visibility across the order-to-cash cycle so each finance employee has clear transparency into what’s happening in all AR functions.
• Advanced analytics dashboards including granular insight and holistic insight for executives. These shouldn’t just give you data readouts but help you turn data into meaningful actions that will impact AR performance metrics.
• Integration
  • Connectors for your ERP system(s)
  • Integration with your banks, financial institutions, and payment issuers
  • Integration with the AP portals your buyers use – the systems where your clients want to you to upload their invoices

• Advanced AI capabilities, including generative AI, agentic AI and a multi-agent architecture.  Solutions should do more than generate insights, they should help you anticipate and prevent financial risk by monitoring buyer behavior patterns and recommending next step actions to take.
• A partner in your AR success: A software provider whose company culture is relentlessly focused on delivering customer outcomes, and one who doesn’t just offer software but a full menu of additional professional services that help operationalize technology through higher adoption.
• Other table stakes include:

HighRadius is often mentioned alongside Billtrust, especially for its AI capabilities. It offers cloud-based AR automation with modules for credit, collections, and cash application. While HighRadius is a solid choice, it often falls short in delivering the depth and adaptability that Billtrust provides and has been noted for its challenging support.
