Start with your most pressing business needs today, and grow in your use of the platform as your business needs evolve.

ETran's advanced Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) solution delivers the ability to scan checks and remittance advices while seamlessly viewing, associating and storing all account and payment information in a highly-secure (and compliant), central location. ETran conveniently supports centralized and distributed check processing environments via a single, easy-to-use interface.  And, it enables efficient integration with any back-office system(s), banks, and virtually any check scanner or mobile device as a result of your scanning needs.

Mobile remote deposit capture (mRDC) solutions provide your A/R organization, sales team members and delivery drivers with the ability to quickly and securely accept, and deposit, paper checks on the spot from your customers. 

Designed as a user-friendly check acceptance solution, FTNI's ETran Mobile provides an efficient and secure way for you to add mobile check capture to your existing receivables mix. By streamlining your in-person paper-based receivables through mobile check capture, you benefit from reduced costs and faster payments, while your customers benefit from a better, simplified payment experience.

With the added benefit of being both iOS and Android compatible, ETran's mobile payment solutions can be utilized as either a stand-alone application or embedded into your existing app via FTNI's API technology. And, going beyond the traditional capabilities of just a mobile banking app, ETran's mobile payment technology is fully-integrated with the ETran user interface for complete oversight, management, and cash application automation of all incoming payments.

Utilizing AI to capture and read semi-structured remittance documents, ETran's Enhanced Document Processing (EDP) module will help your organization eliminate manual data entry from remittance documents that can include data covering tens, even hundreds, of invoices. 

All required remittance data captured from the documents within the EDP module is populated within ETran's configurable ledger columns based on your unique cash application specifications. The data is then associated with the appropriate customer account and payment, for posting into your back-office accounting system(s).

No more manual data entry. No more manual cash application. Way more time for internal resources to focus on higher value functions.

ETran's AutoPay solutions automate the traditionally manual and time-consuming processes surrounding the initiation, invoice matching, and cash application of one-time or recurring payments.

Especially powerful for industries where recurring payments are the same each month, but perhaps even more valuable for businesses where invoice amounts continuously change, AutoPay enables users to configure payment rules and timeframes within clicks. 

Highly-configurable based upon unique payment parameters, customers are able to set up payment initiation/automatic withdrawals on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. basis. Additionally, users enjoy the ability to customize the timing of notification emails prior to payments being drafted. These reminder emails can include information such as the number of invoices to be paid, invoice dates and payment amount.

Transform your lockbox and remittance processing workflows with truly integrated lockbox processing solutions. FTNI's A/R automation platform delivers affordably implemented, easily configurable, and conveniently maintained lockbox processing solutions including advanced RDCremittance document scanning, and seamless posting of payment data to your back-office system.

Each time your A/R team members have to manually review a payment, it costs you money

Checks. ACH/EFT. Credit Cards. Debit Cards. Mailed-in Payments. Called-in Payments. In-person Payments. Online Payments. Mobile Payments. 

The list goes on...

Your internal A/R employees are tasked with matching payments to customers' accounts and open invoices with a large majority of human intervention. Turn to A/R automation software to automatically match, post and reconcile payment data with little, to no, manual effort.

As your customers' payment preferences continue to evolve, especially with the introduction of new payment technologies in recent years, so too will the operational demands of your A/R organization and the process of posting payments into your back-office system(s). There has never been a better time to streamline and automate cash application, elevate exception handling, and achieve true straight through processing on a single receivable processing platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a dashboard that only displays transactions from disparate receivable systems, an integrated receivables platform accepts, processes and posts any payment type—check, ACH/EFT, credit card, debit card, cash—via any payment channel—mailed-in, lockbox, called-in, in-person, online, mobile—on a single, secure (and compliant), SaaS platform.  

By streamlining and automating payments receivables, a true integrated receivables solution reduces the amount or completely eliminates tedious, manual, time-consuming processes surrounding payment data entry, allowing your internal team to spend more time on higher value functions such as exception handling. 

Integrated receivables deliver cloud-based A/R solutions that streamline and accelerate receivable operations and processes by allowing internal teams to have complete oversight of all incoming payment data for review, processing and posting into your back-office system(s).  

Truly integrated receivables platforms are agnostic by design, maximizing efficiency, flexibility and scalability by being compatible with your existing financial institutions, merchant processor, back-office system, and check scanning hardware. An agnostic receivable management platform means you don’t have to change platforms or rebuild existing receivable processes as your business needs change today, tomorrow and years into the future.

Consolidated receivables allow A/R teams to manage all payment methods (check, ACH, credit/debit card, cash), across all payment channels (AutoPay, lockbox, mailed-in, called-in, in-person, online, mobile) from a single platform. This type of receivable management cuts down on traditional, manual, error-prone tasks typically associated with accounting practices.

Receivable management provides the ability to have complete oversight across your entire accounts receivable organization with direct access to all incoming payments, regardless of method or channel—all from a single, unified interface.

By having the ability to accept any payment method, via any payment channel—all on a single platform—you are able to automate cash application operations. 

Through the use of an integrated receivables platform, you are able to automate and streamline your cash application operations by allowing internal teams to have complete oversight of all incoming payment data. Payment information is able to be automatically sent for review, processing and posting into your back-office system(s) via either batch file or real-time API data transmission.

Receivables online means delivering a convenient, contactless online solution to make payments and view outstanding invoices. For example, electronic invoice presentment and payment (EIPP) capabilities deliver your customers with the ability to view and pay invoices associated with their account through a portal on your company website.

Accounts receivable (A/R) software provides business' internal receivable teams with the ability to accept, process, post and manage all incoming payments across the A/R organization. 

Unlike traditional receivable dashboards and legacy systems that don't allow for complete oversight across all payment activity, automated accounts receivable software delivers a single payments platform to streamline receivable processes. By accelerating payments receivables, internal teams are able to reduce or completely eliminate tedious, manual processes surrounding data entry. 

The receivables process is a company's unique path to accepting, processing, posting and managing all payments across the A/R organization.

Consolidate and automate your receivable and cash application operations by utilizing a payments platform that can seamlessly integrate with your current banking and merchant processor relationships, back-office system(s), and even check scanning hardware to adapt to your current business processes.  

By using A/R automation software that can accept, process and post in a single pass, you can automate and accelerate your receivables, improve your cash flow and focus your internal efforts and resources on higher value functions.

An example of accounts receivable would be an outstanding payment associated with a customer invoice. In this use case, you would be able to deliver your customers with multiple ways to pay this invoice including online or mobile payment acceptance, as well as AutoPay (automatic debit).

Automate your collections efforts and invoice payment by utilizing an A/R automation solution. By enabling customers to pay invoices faster through contactless electronic payment options, you can efficiently manage collections processes and reduce late payments in your A/R operations to help save time around payment acceptance, processing and posting.

By utilizing electronic payment solutions such as electronic invoice presentment and payment (EIPP), you enable your customers with the ability to view and pay invoices via an online portal. No contact with your internal collection team is required. Through a secure payment link embedded on your website, users gain instant access into invoices, stored payment methods, and other account details.

Traditional legacy A/R systems and dashboards that lack the ability to process, post and manage all incoming receivables items from a single platform (a.k.a. silos) are a major hinderance within businesses' receivable processes. Unlike integrated receivables, silos lack the intelligence to provide accuracy, insights and security across a single, cloud-based site. 

Reliance on multiple dashboards cobbled together that lack efficiency and visibility across your business only slows your internal operations, delays your cash flow, and ultimately, creates more work for your A/R organization. Like we always say, each time your A/R team has to touch or review a payment, it costs you money.
