High invoice volume
Hundreds of invoices go out every month, and a small AR team cannot personally follow up on each one before it ages.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Manufacturing accounts receivable at production scale.
Manufacturers, distributors and industrial suppliers send hundreds of invoices a month to customers with strict AP processes. AVA works every one of them, resolves short pays and deductions, and posts cash straight back to your ERP.

Why manufacturing AR gets stuck.
High volumes, thin margins and customers with complex AP processes turn receivables into a constant source of manual work and trapped working capital.
Short pays and deductions
Pricing disputes, freight, damages and promotional deductions chip away at margin, and many are never investigated or recovered.
Lump-sum remittances
Large customers pay many invoices in one payment, leaving your team to work out which invoices were paid and which were not.
Costly B2B card fees
Customers want to pay by card, but without the right processing data your margins absorb fees that could be much lower.
How AVA runs industrial receivables.
AVA works natively in your ERP, scales with your invoice volume and handles the exceptions that usually land on your AR team.
- 1
Follow-up on every invoice
Whether you send fifty invoices a month or five thousand, AVA follows up on each one at the moment its customer is most likely to pay.
- 2
Deductions worked to resolution
Short pays and deductions are matched, categorized and routed to the right person, so valid claims close and invalid ones are recovered.
- 3
Cash application that keeps up
Lump-sum and partial payments are matched to the right invoices and posted to your ERP automatically.

Lower B2B processing costs
Accept card and ACH with Level 2 and Level 3 data support, which can significantly reduce interchange on qualifying B2B transactions.

Customer-specific terms
AVA respects each customer's terms, credit limits and AP preferences, so follow-up never feels generic.
