Frequently asked questions
What is AR automation?⌄
AR automation handles invoicing, reminders, and payment collection automatically. Centime adds cash application and reporting on top, so DSO drops without adding headcount.
How is Centime different from other AR automation tools?⌄
Most AR tools only manage collections. Centime combines AR with AP, cash forecasting, and expense management on one platform, so you get a single view of working capital instead of stitching several tools together.
Can I use Centime’s AR automation on its own?⌄
Yes. AR runs standalone, or alongside AP, cash forecasting, and expense management as part of the full platform.
What payment methods can my customers use?⌄
ACH, credit card, and check, including lockbox processing, through a branded, no-login customer portal.
Does Centime’s AR software integrate with my ERP?⌄
Yes. Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and QuickBooks, with bidirectional sync so your accounting system stays current without manual entry.
How does cash application work?⌄
Centime matches incoming payments to open invoices automatically, using configurable logic, and routes only genuine exceptions to a person for review.
Can customers apply credits or flag short payments themselves?⌄
Yes, directly in the Customer Portal, so credits and short-pay notes are documented without an email back-and-forth.
Is Centime’s AR data secure?⌄
Yes. Centime is SOC 2 Type II compliant, an independent audit standard covering how a software provider handles and protects customer data, with bank-grade security.
What Centime customers say
We saw a significant reduction in the number of customers that need some sort of follow-up.
We went from a manual AR/AP process to fully automated through Centime in very little time. We’ve cut the time of outstanding invoices down dramatically. The support team has also been very attentive to our needs.
I’ve felt exceptionally supported throughout this journey. Unlike other SaaS implementations where follow-up meetings felt unnecessary, these sessions with our Customer Success Manager are invaluable.
