Problem
Late invoices in B2B accounts receivable are rarely refusals to pay—they are stuck in operational bottlenecks such as missing purchase orders, stalled internal approvals, rejected AP portal submissions, or departed contacts. Finance teams spend hours manually chasing these blockers across email threads, customer portals, and ERP systems, delaying cash flow and increasing the risk of bad debt write-offs.
Solution
Alder provides an AI employee for accounts receivable that automatically resolves late invoices by reading each account's history and identifying the specific blocker. The AI analyzes the original invoice, previous email replies, and attachments to understand why payment is held up, then takes targeted action—such as following up in the original email thread, submitting invoices into customer AP portals like Coupa or Ariba, or pulling supporting documents for dispute resolution. Alder learns how each team works and operates under user-defined rules, with approval required on anything a customer sees. The platform connects email, conversations, financial systems, and banking tools into one workflow, and every action is logged in a full audit trail.
Target Audience
Primary users are accounts receivable teams and finance operations at B2B companies, particularly in wholesale distribution, manufacturing, construction subcontracting, and IT services, who manage high volumes of invoicing across complex customer environments.
