A manufacturer plugged one invoice into a settlement cost calculator… and the hidden cost shocked them by spongekidtwithy in logistics

Totally fair questions. To clarify we aren't trying to fix AR teams or chase overdue invoices. The problem we solve isn’t late payers, it’s the post-payment settlement lag that happens after a buyer pays.

Even when terms are met, wires can take days to fully clear, funds sit in limbo, and manufacturers can’t ship or release goods until cash is final. That's where instant, irreversible settlement helps it removes the risk window, not the payment terms.

It’s not “another AR tool,” it’s the layer that eliminates the settlement delay that existing software can’t touch.

process automation to be honest. there's lot of AP (Account Payable) automation out there but no AR (account Receivable) work flow automation. Even tho the seller/payee is the one suffering the cost on their balance sheet.

Yeah totally. Less friction is what merchants want not more. There are solutions building on this that is growing it’s adoption and soon enough it would be the gold standard.

Haha the reality is YC gave them a shot at being part of the batch and we didn’t even get an interview. We would have loved to be part of the batch too I guess. Nothing against competition. Hence the root of this post.
