Transforming Record-to-Report with AI-Powered Matching Engines

The Reconciliation Challenge

 Traditional reconciliation is a bottleneck. Finance teams spend an enormous amount of time manually matching complex transactions that standard rule-based software can't handle, delaying the financial close and increasing risk.

The Drain on Resources

Standard tools flag any exception, partial payments, currency fluctuations, data entry errors and hand the problem back to your team. This manual resolution of complex cases becomes a major time sink.

40-50% of total reconciliation resources are consumed by manual exception handling.

A Smarter Approach 

The AI/ML-driven engine goes far beyond static rules. It uses a hybrid framework to automate both simple and complex transactions, learning from historical data to improve continuously.

The Old Way 

The New Way

 Rigid Rules  

  • Relies on exact + threshold based matches for amount, date, and reference
  • Fails on partial payments, aggregated sums, or currency shifts
  • Automation stops at the first exception, creating manual work
  • Static logic that does not learn or adapt

AI-Powered Engine

  • Combines deterministic rules with probabilistic machine learning
  • Understands context, payment behaviors, and historical patterns
  • Automates complex exceptions and provides intelligent suggestions
  • Self-learning system that gets smarter over time

How The AI Engine Works

 Our engine uses a two-pronged approach to maximize automation and accuracy, handling everything from simple one-to-one matches to complex many-to-many scenarios.

  • Transaction Input : High-volume cash and payment data enters the system
  • Deterministic Match : Applies rules for exact and tolerance-based matches. Clears simple transactions instantly
  • Probabilistic Match : ML models analyze remaining data for likely matches based on patterns
  • Reconciled : Transactions are matched, with minimal exceptions flagged for review

Quantifiable Business Benefits

 Implementing an AI-driven engine delivers immediate and significant improvements to R2R operations, driving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability

Real-World Impact 

For a global enterprise, the system clears the vast majority of transactions automatically. This transforms the finance team's role from data entry to strategic analysis.

A Paradigm Shift in Operations 

With automation handling the heavy lifting, your highly skilled finance professionals can dedicate their expertise to highvalue activities that drive business growth.

Focus shifts from repetitive tasks to strategic decision-making
