Accounting and ERP connectors

the collections your management software doesn’t handle

Sage, SAP, Cegid, Oracle, Dynamics: these ERPs handle accounting, invoicing, and stock tracking very well. Collections are a different story. It’s not what they’re built for, and it shows as soon as a CFO or IT manager tries to manage follow-ups, DSO, or an aged trial balance directly from the ERP.

The problem isn’t which ERP you chose. It’s that no general-purpose ERP can match the functional depth of a tool built specifically for collections without turning into an overengineered mess. The right answer isn’t switching ERP’s, it’s connecting it to a specialized module that picks up where it leaves off.

Why ERPs reach their limits on collections

THE FINDING

An ERP’s collections module stays basic by design

An ERP is built to cover the company’s entire set of processes: purchasing, sales, inventory, accounting, sometimes HR. Collections is just one brick among many, and it’s built to a minimum: a list of overdue invoices, maybe an export option, rarely more. No follow-up scenarios tailored by client profile, no detailed dispute management, no built-in risk scoring.

For a team managing hundreds or thousands of invoices a month, this piece quickly becomes a bottleneck rather than a tool.

MULTI-ENTITY

Multi-site or multi-entity environments outgrow the ERP

A group with several subsidiaries, several countries, or a single entity split across multiple branches quickly runs into the limits of how an ERP works: each instance manages its data in isolation, with no consolidated view of accounts receivable across the group. Putting together a group-wide aged trial balance becomes a manual exercise, done by hand, often only once a month.

COST & TIMELINE

Configuring a collections module inside the ERP is expensive and slow

Adapting an ERP to the specific needs of collections (follow-up scenarios, dispute workflows, automated alerts) usually means custom development, with the timeline and cost that implies. And every ERP version upgrade can potentially break that custom work.

CFO AUTONOMY

The CFO loses autonomy to IT

Without a dedicated module, every adjustment to the follow-up process goes through a request to IT: a queue, a ticket. A CFO who wants to update a follow-up scenario or add a tracking indicator depends on a development cycle that isn’t theirs to control.

What CashNow brings to the table where your ERP falls short

CashNow isn’t meant to replace your ERP. It connects to it to handle everything collections specifically requires, without touching your accounting system and without any manual re-entry.

A direct connection to the leading ERPs on the market

CashNow interfaces with Sage (100, FRP 1000, X3), SAP, Cegid, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and the leading accounting tools on the market.

Synchronization happens automatically, feeding through invoicing and receivables data with no risk of altering your accounting data and no need for manual exports.

Integration that goes beyond the accounting ERP

CashNow also connects to business intelligence tools (Infolegale, Creditsafe) for risk scoring, online payment solutions (Stripe, Flywire), and Chorus Pro for public-sector collections, as well as credit insurance data. One single tool to manage the entire order-to-cash cycle, connected to the ecosystem you already have in place.

A consolidated view where the ERP stays siloed

Multi-entity group, multi-site environment, multi-country operations:

CashNow centralizes all collections data into a single view, with the option to drill down by entity, subsidiary, or country as needed.

Configurable follow-up scenarios, no IT required

Once the connection is set up, the CFO or collections manager configures their own scenarios, automation rules, and letter templates directly, no tickets, no waiting on a development cycle.

Fast deployment, with no disruption to what's already in place

Deploying CashNow doesn’t require reorganizing your accounting setup or migrating your historical data out of the ERP. The connection is built on what’s already there.

FAQ: Accounting and ERP connectors for collections

Does CashNow replace my ERP, or does it work alongside it?

Which ERPs are compatible with CashNow?

CashNow interfaces with the leading ERPs on the market (French and international): Sage (100, FRP 1000, X3), SAP, Cegid, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, as well as common accounting tools. For specific configurations, feasibility is checked during a demo.

How long does it take to connect CashNow to our ERP?

The timeline depends on the complexity of your environment: single or multi-entity, number of sites, configuration specifics. Deployments we’ve seen generally range from a few weeks to three months for the most complex organizations.

Does connecting CashNow to our ERP require our IT department?

An initial setup step from IT is needed to configure the connection. Once the data flow is established, day-to-day configuration is handled directly by the finance team without involving IT.
