Accounts receivable automation: order to cash without manual work
Accounts receivable automation (AR automation) is automating everything between sending an invoice and receiving the money: follow-up, reminders, payment matching, escalation and reporting. It's the operational part of the order-to-cash chain. Credimigo delivers AR automation as an AI platform: invoices are read automatically, followed up in the customer's language, and handed over to recovery if payment doesn't arrive.

The order-to-cash chain
Order to cash runs from order to received payment. AR automation focuses on the last three links, where most of the manual work sits.
- Order and delivery: outside AR's scope, but a key driver of disputes.
- Invoicing: correct, complete invoices remove half of all payment excuses.
- Collections: structured follow-up in the right language and tone.
- Cash application: matching incoming payments to the right invoice.
- Dispute management: handling disputes separately instead of continuing to chase.
What to automate and what not to
Automate everything predictable: timing, language, message structure, status changes and tracking promises made. Don't automate: judging a dispute, the decision to escalate legally, and making an exception for a strategic customer.
Measuring whether it's working
Three numbers tell you whether your AR process is healthy: DSO, the percentage of invoices still open past their due date, and the average time to a debtor's first reply. When that last number falls, the other two follow.
Frequently asked questions
What is AR automation?
Automating accounts receivable: following up on outstanding invoices, reminders, payment matching and escalation, without manual work per invoice.
What's the difference from accounting software?
Accounting software records what has happened. AR software makes things happen: it drives follow-up and escalation.
Does AR automation work for small businesses?
Yes. It's precisely small teams where follow-up is the first thing to slip; automation fixes exactly that.
Can I import invoices in bulk?
Yes, via CSV or Excel with duplicate detection, or one at a time as a PDF, PNG or JPG with AI recognition.
