The hardest AR work isn't the dunning email — it's everything around it
AR teams spend 15-20% of their time on cash application and up to 25% on deduction resolution — document-heavy, matching-heavy operational work. Cadel automates the complexity that happens before and around the payment.
Where AI-native AR makes the difference
Most AR tools optimize collections outreach. Cadel solves the operational complexity upstream — the extraction, matching, and validation work that determines whether a payment can be applied, a deduction is valid, or a dispute needs escalation.
Cash application
Match incoming payments to open invoices — even with partial payments, short-pays, deductions, or missing remittance data. Any format: PDF, email, EDI 820, bank files.
Deduction management
Classify deduction types automatically. Cross-reference against trade promotions, contracts, proof of delivery, and shipping documents. Route for approval or dispute.
Invoice validation
Verify invoices match contract terms, pricing agreements, and delivery records before they go out — eliminating billing disputes at the source.
Payment-to-order matching
Trace payments back through the full chain — from remittance to invoice to purchase order to contract — resolving discrepancies automatically.
Multi-format extraction
Remittance advice arrives as PDFs, Excel attachments, email body text, EDI, or portal downloads. Cadel extracts structured data from all of them.
AR reconciliation
Continuous matching of AR sub-ledger to GL, customer statements to AR records, and intercompany AR to corresponding AP.
How it works
Extract
Ingest remittance advice, deduction notices, and payment data from any source and format. AI extracts structured data automatically.
Match
Multi-dimensional matching across payments, invoices, contracts, and delivery records — with tolerance logic for real-world discrepancies.
Resolve
Classify deductions, validate against source documents, and route exceptions to the right team with full context attached.
Reconcile
Continuous AR-to-GL reconciliation. Customer statement matching. Always audit-ready.
Frequently asked questions
What is AI-powered accounts receivable automation?
AI-powered AR automation uses machine learning to automate the operational complexity in accounts receivable — cash application, deduction resolution, payment matching, and reconciliation. Unlike collections-focused tools, Cadel targets the document-heavy, matching-heavy work that determines whether payments can be applied and deductions are valid.
How is Cadel different from collections tools like HighRadius or Tesorio?
Collections tools optimize outreach — who to call, when to send reminders. Cadel solves what happens around the payment: matching a $47K wire with no remittance to 14 open invoices, classifying a retailer chargeback against a trade promotion agreement, or reconciling AR to GL across entities. We're complementary to collections platforms.
What types of deductions can Cadel handle?
Trade promotion deductions, pricing discrepancies, freight and logistics chargebacks, return deductions, compliance fines, cash discount disputes, and withholding tax deductions. Cadel classifies the type, validates against source documents, and routes for approval or dispute.
