Finance leaders at companies across many industries are transforming their accounts receivable operations. What’s the key? Layering Billtrust’s AR automation software on top of their ERP system rather than trying to custom build specialized ERP features on their own. From seamless integration and PCI DSS compliance to faster cash flow and stronger financial health during economic downturns, these real client stories highlight the impact of Billtrust’s AI-powered automation.
Edges Electrical Group: Simplifying Integration and Compliance
When it comes to expanding ERP systems with automation features purpose-built for AR teams, integration experience matters. Billtrust has more than 40 ERP connectors, so your existing systems integrate easily and work seamlessly. Deana Reynolds, Director of Credit at Edges Electrical Group, explains why this is valuable to her company.
“One of the most important things about Billtrust that’s been super helpful to us is their familiarity with our ERP. We use one that is notoriously difficult for integrations, but Billtrust has many, many other customers using the same ERP we do. That’s been a game changer. We don’t have to start from the beginning and try to explain how our system works, because they already know. And that has made integrations much, much easier.”

While ERP systems have been expanding with capabilities, they don’t always cater to the unique needs of AR teams – particularly when it comes to eInvoicing regulations and financial compliance. This is another reason layering AR automation software on top of an ERP system can simplify the administrative burdens of compliance audits. See how Billtrust picks up where your ERP leaves off.
“PCI compliance has been a huge topic around my company over the past year, and we have discovered that our ERP is not providing us with the compliance that we need. But now Billtrust is doing that. We feel comfortable because we know Billtrust has got it figured out. We don’t have to worry that anything running through the Billtrust platform is out of compliance.”

Cintas: Calming the Chaos of Multiple ERPs
Managing 600,000 payments is no small feat—especially when multiple ERP systems slow down the process. This was the case for Cintas, which streamlined their payments processing operations with Billtrust. Even a modest 1% boost in electronic payment posting (auto-posting) efficiency translated into a major win for both the AR team and their customers.
“We had multiple ERP systems, and it would create additional delays within our payment posting process — from the time that the funds hit our account until the time that the remittance was actually cleared in the system. With Billtrust, a lot of that lag was consolidated. When you’re talking about 600,000 payments, a 1% improvement in auto-post is a big number, and that translates directly to the customer experience.”

Express Employment Professionals: A Single Source of Truth for AR
Companies may have only one ERP system, but that doesn’t mean AR professionals don’t have to aggregate data to perform their daily work. This is another reason why AR automation software platforms can boost productivity by putting all relevant information in one centralized location.
“The greatest benefit for us overall has been being able to centralize everything in one place. We’ve never had all of our payments running through one system besides our ERP. So, the flexibility that we’ve been able to achieve with the Billtrust products has been really great for us. It’s all centralized.”
