Frequently Asked Questions: Integrated Receivables

Unlike a dashboard that only displays transactions from disparate receivables systems, a truly 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 A/R operations, truly integrated receivables solutions cut down or eliminate tedious, manual, time-consuming processes, allowing your internal team to spend more time on higher value functions such as exception handling.

True integrated receivables solutions should enable you to start where your business needs are today and conveniently expand the use of the platform over time, not the other way around. There is not "one size fits all" when it comes to A/R, so your solution should be the same.

ETran is agnostic by design, maximizing flexibility and scalability by being compatible with your existing bank(s), merchant processor, eoStar route accounting software, and check scanning hardware.

FTNI's ETran platform is a cloud-based, modular solution suite delivered in a SaaS model. Software-as-a-service delivery means significantly reducing, if not completely eliminating, all costs associated with having hardware and software managed on-site, as well as the dedicated staff needed to manage the on-premise systems.
