The story
Esker began as a document process automation company, initially focused on eliminating paper-based workflows for finance departments. Over time it evolved into a full cloud platform covering Order-to-Cash and Source-to-Pay automation, and in 2021 embedded financial services directly into its platform via Esker Pay, partnering with fintechs like Stripe to add payment processing, early payment discounts, and supply chain financing capabilities.
