Overview
Esker is a global software company founded in Lyon, France, providing AI-driven automation for the Office of the CFO across source-to-pay and order-to-cash processes. Within its order-to-cash suite, Esker's Accounts Receivable solution set covers credit management, invoice delivery, collections management, cash application and deductions/dispute management, aimed at helping finance and credit teams reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and manual collections effort.
Esker's Collections Management module gives credit and collections teams a single view of receivables, with configurable collection strategies, automated reminder and statement delivery, and real-time dashboards tracking DSO, Collection Effectiveness Index (CEI) and reasons for late payment. Esker Synergy AI, the company's set of AI capabilities (machine learning, deep learning, NLP and generative AI), analyzes customer payment behavior to predict payment risk and dynamically reprioritize collector workload and outreach.
Collections Management is designed to work alongside Esker's Cash Application module, which uses AI-based data extraction and an auto-matching engine to reconcile incoming payments against open invoices and post the results back into the customer's ERP, and alongside Esker Credit Management, which feeds risk scoring into collection strategy. Esker reports over 100 ERP/back-end integrations built to date and connects into SAP, Oracle (E-Business Suite, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, NetSuite) and Microsoft Dynamics through prebuilt, pre-built connectors as well as REST APIs and file-exchange for legacy systems.
