Context

With a large number of transactions happening on a daily basis, Luce found itself facing several challenges:(a) Waiting 3-4 days for invoices to reflect in their internal systems, delaying the reconciliation process.(b) Time-intensive reconciliation involving many hours of sifting through records, cross-referencing with bank statements, and identifying discrepancies.

Solutions

Acme developed an automated reconciliation solution that enabled Luce to receive real-time transaction notifications whenever a transaction hit their bank account, and reconcile that against invoices sent out.With the help of Acme, Luce was able to automatically match every transaction to each invoice. This reduced all the manual work required to identify transactions that had incorrect or incomplete identifiers (e.g., Name of payer, Invoice number). Potential errors from manual work was also eliminated.
