What Is Finance Automation?

Your Financial Processes, Running Automatically

Finance automation connects your CRM, accounting software, payment gateways and banking systems so that the routine financial tasks, invoice creation, delivery, reminders, payment detection and reconciliation, happen automatically without anyone manually touching them.

The result is faster invoicing, improved cash flow, accurate records and a significant reduction in the time your team spends on financial admin. We integrate with Xero, Sage, QuickBooks and the most common South African payment gateways.

How It Works

From Service Delivered to Payment Reconciled, Automatically

A typical finance automation workflow covers the full payment cycle without manual intervention at any stage.

1
Service completed, trigger fires
When a job is marked done or a milestone reached in your CRM or project tool, the invoice automation triggers immediately.
2
Invoice generated from template
The correct invoice is generated automatically: right client, right amounts, right terms, using your branded template in your accounting system.
3
Delivered with payment link
Invoice is emailed and WhatsApp'd to the client with a direct payment link, they can pay in seconds without needing to do a manual EFT.
4
Reminders sent automatically if overdue
If payment isn't received by the due date, automated reminders go out at defined intervals, professional and on brand, without anyone having to make an awkward call.
5
Payment detected and reconciled
The moment payment is received, via payment gateway or bank feed, it's reconciled against the invoice in your accounting system automatically.
6
Financial report updated and distributed
Your cash flow summary, outstanding invoice report and financial dashboard are updated instantly, and scheduled summaries land in your inbox without any manual compilation.
