Reimagine Your Close with Retail Accounting Automation Software

Automated Reconciliation for High-Volume Transactions

Discrepancies between the transactions recorded in the POS, merchant files, bank statements, and ledgers can create confusion and slow down the close. Gift cards, eCommerce, third party services, and more add even more complexity in retail. For high-volume transactions, AI transaction matching improves efficiency while reducing time spent reconciling.

Focus On Exceptions, Not Matching

Trintech’s AI reconciles thousands or even millions of transactions within defined thresholds, variances and tolerances set by users, so your team can focus on complicated exceptions, not mundane matching. Run your reconciliations daily, so you’re caught up before month end and reduce write-offs that take away from the bottom line.

Full Audit Trail to Ensure Compliance for eCommerce

E-commerce retailers that sell through third-party platforms need to meticulously track transactions to properly reconcile different sales taxes, 1099-Ks, returns, and chargebacks and to record revenue overall. Trintech delivers comprehensive workflow management that offers highly visible workflows and a complete audit trail.

Timely and Accurate Reporting

Trintech allows teams to produce accurate financial reports with intuitive reporting features, configurable templates, and automated data consolidation. This provides better visibility into cash flow, inventory management, and other key financial data to ensure you’re always up to date on financial status.

A major focus area for us is line-item matching, especially because we have a very high volume of e-commerce accounts to reconcile. By increasing automation in this area, we can significantly reduce manual workloads for accountants across the globe and allow them to focus on higher-value activities.”
