Your treasury team is still forecasting with data that’s already outdated.

And your team is still answering questions the payment portal should’ve handled:
“Do I get a discount?”
“When does it expire?”
“Will this trigger a surcharge?”

That gap is what we just fixed.

Cash Forecast now updates daily with 13-week forward visibility,so when buyer behavior shifts (slower payments, autopay changes, etc.), you see the impact on cash immediately.

At the same time, the Buyer Payment Portal puts that same information in front of buyers at the moment they pay — discounts, surcharges, timing — so they don’t need to call AR to figure it out.

Same system, two sides of the cash cycle, and real-time signals flowing through both.

We asked finance leaders to sum up Billtrust in one word. Not one person said “software.”

They said partnership, loyalty, and innovation.

One customer mentioned working together for 15 years. Another said, “They’re on our side wanting us to succeed.”
Usually a good sign when customers talk about the relationship before the product…!

Tomorrow is our final day at Gartner Finance Symposium in Maryland.

This week’s conversations at Booth #227 kept circling back to the same thing: finance teams want better visibility without ripping out the systems they already have.

We talked ERPs that weren’t built for modern AR, cash forecasting that updates daily instead of quarterly, and whether is actually improving workflows or just adding another line item to the budget.

Plus, our CPO Lee An Schommer spoke yesterday about what changes when software is purpose-built instead of patched together. Full room, long Q&A, and lots of honest conversations afterward.

If you’re here, stop by Booth #227!

Revenue moves last.
By the time it hits the P&L, the shift has usually been building for quarters.

Our CFO, David Zwick, just wrote about the signals finance teams miss first:

- payment channel shifts
- rising disputes
- term extensions
- match rate degradation

The operational data often changes before revenue does.

Four AR signals that move before your revenue does.

Most discussions end with: “We should explore that.”
This one starts with: “Here’s what we tried. Here’s what actually happened.”

Gregg D’eon, VP Controller at LTK, is joining a panel *tomorrow* on AI in AR — invoicing, collections, cash application, and the gap between pilot programs and production reality.

What worked. What didn’t. What looked great in the demo and created headaches later.
Just controllers comparing notes.

AR teams process thousands of transactions and barely use the data behind them.

Payment patterns, customer behavior, early risk signals…most teams only touch that data when closing books or chasing invoices. Meanwhile, it can predict cash flow issues before they show up in aging reports.

We just published a blueprint for getting there: Digitize, Optimize, and then Elevate.
Plus a 50-point checklist covering data quality to team readiness.

75% of AI users saw DSO drop by 6+ days. Turns out your data has been trying to tell you something all along.

"You hear all the time how worried companies are about surcharging – that they're going to lose customers. But then you do it yourself, and you realize you don't lose customers. In fact, you save a lot of money."

That's Werner’s Director of Financial Services, on implementing surcharging with Billtrust. One customer requested an exception. Everyone else either moved to ACH or paid the fee.

First-year savings: $250K.

Werner also hit 97% electronic invoicing and 91% cash application auto-match rates. Their customers now pay 3-7 days before the due date. Total savings: $332K with an AR team of 3.

Maryland, we’re coming for you!

We'll be at Gartner Finance Symposium – *Booth #227 * – talking about what it actually takes to make work for finance teams.

And tomorrow at 11:45am ET, our CPO Lee An Schommer takes the stage on how purpose-built AR changes what’s possible for CFO teams.

Your ERP records every transaction.
But can it flag when a customer suddenly switches from ACH to credit card payments?

That’s often an early risk signal: liquidity pressure, or something shifting financially.

Most ERPs can’t catch it. The data may exist somewhere in payment history tables, but pulling it usually means custom reports, IT tickets, and manual digging.

In fact, 74% of finance leaders say their ERP lacks the automation AR teams need. And for companies managing multiple ERPs, the complexity only grows.

The fix isn’t replacing your ERP. It’s layering automation on top of it. Keep the ERP as your system of record, and add automation for the workflows it wasn’t built to handle.

The result? Companies are seeing 23–25% reductions in DSO.

It's Recharge Day at Billtrust — a company-wide day off to rest, reset, or finally get to that thing you've been putting off.

Out of office. Out for a walk…Out cold until noon.

We do this every year during Mental Health Awareness Month because supporting our team means giving people real time to take care of themselves.

Enjoy the long weekend, everyone. 💚
