Business owners and brokers stand to gain benefits from streamlined processes and networks that let them schedule a pick-up and pay without leaving the UI.

Last but not least, accounting departments can leverage the partnership to maximize back-office efficiency – using the platform to track and maintain their balance sheets automatically.
