The challenge of managing recurring payments

Managing instalment payments has been a complex challenge for accounting teams, and it meant relying on spreadsheets and manual processes, which brought about these issues:

  1. Time-consuming: Manual methods involve creating complex spreadsheet formulas, checking calendars, and watching over each payment. It eats up your precious time and slows things down.
  2. Error-prone: Manual methods are prone to errors, leading to disputes and longer payment cycles.

But what if there’s a way to do away with all the complicated spreadsheets and the hassle of keeping track of dates?
