Trusted by global leaders in logistics, manufacturing, and retail
Freehand's AI Teams execute the full payment lifecycle autonomously, from invoice approval through GL coding, accrual maintenance, and ERP disbursement. Each agent owns a distinct post-approval step so nothing sits in a queue.
Approved invoices move directly into the payment workflow. No queues. No manual steps between invoice approval and ERP disbursement. Payments go out on time, every cycle.
The GL Coding Agent assigns cost centers, GL accounts, and business units based on rules mapped to your chart of accounts. Complex cost splits across divisions, brands, and geographies, handled at invoice time, accurately.
Freight costs are accrued at tender and updated as shipments move. The Accrual & Forecast Agent reconciles actuals against accruals when invoices arrive. Finance has a live view of freight liability at any point in the month.
The Payment Orchestration Agent generates payment files in your ERP's required format and pushes them directly to SAP, Oracle Cloud ERP, Oracle JDE, or NetSuite via native connectors.
The Spend Intelligence Agent classifies every payment by mode, carrier, cost center, and charge type, giving Finance a single, finance-grade view of freight spend across the business.
The Anomaly Detection Agent blocks duplicate submissions across PRO and BOL variants before disbursement. Every payment is backed by a complete audit trail: invoice, shipment, rate, approval, and payment record.
The difference isn't incremental. Every manual handoff between invoice approval and payment close is removed.
