Why Fazeshift
Most "AI" in accounts receivable is a rules engine with a chatbot bolted on — it works until a case falls outside the rules, then it's back on your desk. Fazeshift's agents actually understand what's happening in a transaction and act on it, the way your best AR person would.

It works fine for the invoices that were always going to pay cleanly. It's everything else that trips it up: a lump-sum check covering seven customers, an ACH with no remittance attached, the "problem child" account that pays whenever and however it wants.
Someone loses an afternoon hunting down a payer, or combs through a six-figure batch of open invoices to find the three that are wrong — because none of that lives in a clean field in your ERP. It's buried in an inbox, a PDF, a portal, or just in someone's head: "oh, that customer always pays late, but always pays."
Rules engines can’t read any of that. They don’t run out of patience — they run out of rules.
Rules engines handle the clean invoices and queue the rest for a human. Fazeshift’s agents read the messy ones and decide what to do next, the way a skilled AR analyst would. That’s not a faster rules engine. It’s a different kind of software.

A construction company’s edge cases are job-number billing. A staffing firm’s are VMS portals and Bullhorn syncs. A logistics company’s are BOL numbers that match nothing in the TMS. Fazeshift’s agents are tuned to yours, not to a generic AR shape.
A high-volume B2B services company was matching 60–70% of incoming payments through their previous rules-based process. With Fazeshift’s agents live in production, that number is 80%+.
