The payments industry has been a latecomer to the financial technology revolution. Many companies still use legacy accounts receivable (AR) processes marked by an overwhelming reliance on manual procedures. Now, the industry is at a crossroads, facing a technological advancement that promises to leave no sector untouched: artificial intelligence (AI).

In this edition of the “Working Capital Tracker®,” we zoom in on how AI can help AR teams ease pain points so companies can thrive amid economic uncertainty.
