Automation for complex billing, settlement and reconciliation processes
The back-end processes of reporting, reconciling, billing and settling financial or digital transactions is often an overlooked aspect of transaction processing. Yet, they create significant business challenges with material impact on operations and costs. As companies expand their product reach and discover new ways to monetize their offerings, a whole new set of billing, reconciliation and settlement issues can arise. These issues are magnified by legacy platforms that are not equipped to handle the complexity that comes along with this evolution. Multi-partner arrangements, emerging payments or new loyalty schemes, for example, can be operational nightmares to manage if the proper platform is not in place. Companies can simply not afford to expend valuable resources managing the incidental billing, settlement and reconciliation details of their business strategy. They need an automated solution that will accelerate these processes end-to-end and reduce costs. i2c has this solution.
