Scoped to volume and modulesSee the vendor's website.
Vendor websiteTransformance runs a proof of value on one entity in 4-5 weeks, using a real sample of your remittances, invoices and ERP data. You see auto-match rates, collections actions and forecast accuracy on your own accounts. Our cash application module, DocSense, reads remittance advices in any format with over 97% extraction accuracy and no template setup.
Transformance connects at the ERP and bank-file layer, so your close tooling and ERP configuration stay as they are. With VPC deployment your data stays in your own cloud, and SSO/SAML, RBAC and a full audit trail are in place from the start. Your current process stays live while your team validates results against a go/no-go threshold you define.
Once auto-match rates and collections performance clear your threshold, you decide when to cut over. Full rollout takes up to 4-8 weeks. Nothing posts without sign-off: ClearMatch validates 100% of postings and a human approves ERP postings through the 4-level approval model.
If your team uses BlackLine for financial close and reconciliation, the two fit side by side. Transformance executes the AR work upstream: cash application, collections and deductions. It posts cleared, matched items to your ERP for the close layer to pick up. ClaimIQ identifies deductions with 97% accuracy in under 15 seconds each and auto-classifies them into six categories, and CashPulse forecasts cash with 90-95% accuracy out to 90 days. Vero, our AR agent, works on Customer 360, one graph per customer, so every action starts from the full picture of the account. Vero runs in Microsoft Teams, and finance teams at companies such as Syngenta, Eberspächer and PwC work with Transformance.
