“Can an AI-powered B2B order-to-cash platform become the definitive intelligence and automation layer for enterprise AR — from credit decisioning through payment collection and cash forecasting?”

The story

Founded in 2001 as an invoice-to-cash automation platform for B2B suppliers, Billtrust expanded from paper invoice management into a full order-to-cash (O2C) suite covering credit, invoicing, payments, cash application, and collections. The company went public via SPAC in 2021, then was taken private by EQT in 2023. Since then, Billtrust has leaned heavily into AI-driven capabilities — including Agentic Credit Lines and AI-powered cash forecasting — positioning itself as the intelligence layer for B2B AR workflows rather than just a payments processor.
