AR Automation

Get paid faster, with AI agents that chase invoices for you

From invoice issuance to cash application to collections — every receivable, every customer, every entity. AI agents reconcile payments, escalate dunning, surface disputes, and forecast cash. Your AR team stops typing reminders and starts managing exceptions worth their time.

The use case

Run AR end-to-end. From invoice issuance to cash applied.

Mid-market and enterprise finance teams issuing 5K-500K customer invoices a year across multiple entities, currencies, and ERPs, where the AR team spends most of its time chasing payment instead of managing exceptions, DSO has crept up over the last 18 months, and the CFO needs forecasting confidence ahead of the next board meeting.

Flowie unifies the full receivables flow on one operating brain: issuance (invoice generation → e-invoicing compliance → dispatch) → cash (bank/portal/file ingest → AI matching → exceptions) → collections (dunning sequences → escalation → dispute) → forecast (DSO modeling → cash projection → credit risk). Every step orchestrated by AI agents grounded in Astral. Every customer touch personalised. Every exception routed with full context.

For who

AR Manager / Credit Manager
Team is buried in reminders. DSO is creeping up. Disputes age forever.
CFO / Finance Director
Cash forecasting is gut-feel. DSO is a quarterly conversation, not a daily signal.
Controller / Treasurer
Cash application takes 3 days. Bank reconciliation is a manual spreadsheet exercise.
Sales / Customer Success
Surprised by collections cases on accounts they thought were healthy.

Capabilities

What AR Automation actually does.

01Capability

Customer invoice issuance, compliant per country

Generate, validate, and dispatch every receivable in the right format on the right e-invoicing rail — Factur-X, UBL, CII, FatturaPA, FACe — across 95+ countries. Net 30 by default, configurable per contract. The invoice goes out the moment it's approved, with the audit trail your finance team needs and the format your customer's PA mandates.

02Capability

AI-drafted reminders, tuned to each customer

Friendly nudge on day +5 with personalized tokens. Firmer reminder on day +15. Each draft references the live invoice, due date, and amount — no copy-paste. A pay-now link works in one click. The AI stops the moment cash arrives. Your team only writes the messages a robot shouldn't.

03Capability

Collections workflow editor — your playbook as code

Build the dunning sequence visually — email reminder, suspend on payment, escalate to call task, route to AR team. CEL expressions handle conditional logic ($invoice.status, days overdue, customer tier). One playbook runs across every customer, every entity, every currency. Changes propagate the next time it fires.

04Capability

Live DSO dashboard, the signal your CFO needs daily

DSO trending in real time. Percentage of cash auto-collected. Cash collected over the last 30 days. Fourteen-week trend bars surface cohort dynamics. The dashboard your CFO opens before the board meeting — not the quarterly archaeology project they used to live with.

Under the hood

The technology behind AR Automation.

Engineering layers that make agentic orchestration work — across every ERP, every partner, every mandate.

01

Astral · The central brain

Flowie's knowledge graph maps every customer, contract, invoice, payment, and entity into one connected operating brain. Built from your ERP exports, refreshed in real time, queryable by every agent.

02

Agentic AI Layer

Pre-trained agents reason on top of Astral — Cash Application, Collections, Dispute, Credit, Compliance. Powered by frontier foundation models, fine-tuned on receivables workflows. Every action comes with a reasoning chain you can audit.

03

Multi-ERP Connector Mesh

Bidirectional, real-time sync to 30+ ERPs and bank platforms. Reads sales orders, writes invoices, reconciles payments, posts journal entries — across whatever stack you actually run today.

04

Compliance Layer

French PA/PDP, EU ViDA, Peppol, FatturaPA, FACe, ZATCA, e-Fatura, and 95+ country-specific e-invoicing mandates baked into every invoice. ISO 27001:2022 certified, EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant by default.

Day 1

Plug Flowie into your ERPs, banks, and partner systems. No data migration, no integration team, no rip-and-replace.

Week 1

Ship

First workflow live in production. Your team uses it on real intake, match, payment, and reporting work — not in a sandbox.

Month 2

Scale

Multi-entity rollout. Compliance gates pass. Workflows expand to your full team and full ERP/partner stack.

The difference

Before AR Automation. After AR Automation.

Without Flowie

  • Invoices generated in the ERP, sent by email, archived in Drive — compliance handled per-country in spreadsheets.
  • Cash application is 3 days late and 30% of items need manual review.
  • Collections is reminders sent late and inconsistently. Escalation is a Slack thread.
  • Disputes age in inboxes because no one has the original delivery proof handy.
  • DSO is reported quarterly. Cash forecast is a controller's best guess.

With Flowie

  • Every invoice issued in the right country format on the right rail. Compliance ships as platform updates.
  • Cash auto-applied at 95%+. AR team only touches the items that genuinely need a decision.
  • Dunning runs on customer-specific cadence, stops the moment cash arrives, escalates politely on time.
  • Disputes opened with full context — PO, contract, delivery, history. Resolution times fall from weeks to days.
  • DSO updated with every invoice and payment. Cash forecast your CFO can trust.

Asked & answered

Buyers ask us this.

How is AR Automation different from Order-to-Cash?

Order-to-Cash is the strategic umbrella covering quote → order → invoice → cash. AR Automation focuses on the operational AR cycle: invoice issuance, cash application, collections, disputes, credit risk. AR Automation is the buying decision; O2C is the strategic narrative. Most enterprises need both — Flowie delivers them on one operating brain.

Does Flowie handle French e-invoicing for AR (PA/PDP)?

Yes. Flowie is a registered PA (ex-PDP) for the 2026 French mandate. Customer invoices flow through Flowie's PDP-compliant rail in Factur-X, UBL, or CII format, with FNFE / Chorus Pro routing handled automatically.

How does AI cash application work?

Bank feeds, remittance advice, and customer portals are ingested in real time. AI agents reconcile each incoming payment against open invoices using customer history, payment patterns, partial-pay logic, and remittance hints. 95%+ of payments are auto-applied without human review. Exceptions surface with the agent's reasoning so your accountant decides quickly.

Can we customize dunning sequences per customer or segment?

Yes. Dunning cadence, channels (email / SMS / customer portal / phone task / payment link), tone, and escalation thresholds are customer-segment specific. AI suggests cadence based on customer payment behavior; you keep policy control.

How does this connect to our ERP?

Flowie connects bidirectionally to 30+ ERPs out of the box — SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC6, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage X3, Cegid, Odoo, NetSuite, Workday, Pennylane, and more. We read sales orders, write invoices, reconcile payments, post journal entries — without you switching ERPs.

What about disputes and deductions?

Every short-pay opens a structured dispute case. The original PO, contract, delivery proof, and dispute history auto-attach. AI suggests resolution paths based on similar past disputes. Sales, AR, and customer success see one shared view.
