It describes its target customers as businesses with $10M+ in revenue and mid-to-high invoice volumes, including organizations in manufacturing, distribution, business services, healthcare, and transportation. Invoices can be delivered by email, print, mail, or more than 260 AP portals without portal logins. Payment tools accept major methods, and Billtrust says they can reduce card processing costs by up to 30%. Credit features monitor portfolio risk and automate decisions; Agentic Credit Lines analyzes more than 80 data points. Agentic AI prioritizes delinquent accounts and automates inbox management and call documentation. For cash application, confidence-based machine learning matches payments to invoices, with reported straight-through processing above 95%. Billtrust describes the platform as ERP-agnostic and lists connections to ERP systems, AP portals, banks, financial institutions, and eCommerce tools.

CashOnTime is an Invoice-to-Cash platform for finance departments, bringing together credit management, collections, disputes, payment matching, online payments and cash forecasting. Its collection tools automate multichannel reminders, adapt scenarios and use AI to prioritize actions. Payment reconciliation combines AI with business rules to handle partial payments, discounts, exchange-rate differences, credit notes and transactions across entities. Teams can centralize deductions and disputes, while a customer portal lets customers view invoices, discuss disputes, submit supporting documents and pay online. Credit tools assess solvency, apply policies and alert teams to unusual behavior or policy exceedances. Consolidated dashboards forecast from payment behavior, detected risks and transaction history across subsidiaries and ERP environments. CashOnTime is presented as a SaaS platform with web access and an API; its maker describes standardized REST API exchange and customizable ERP connectors, naming SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Sage as examples of supported environments. Implementation services include integration, setup, training and ongoing optimization. The CashOnTime brand launched in 2012; pricing is on request.
