Workers · Order-to-Cash

VERIDOM runs your order-to-cash operation to completion.

Orders validated. Fulfilment coordinated. Evidence confirmed before an invoice goes out. Missing documents chased. Payments matched. Exceptions taken to an ending instead of a queue.

Illustrative future workflow. The examples, figures and interfaces on this page are fictional design scenarios, not customer results or a live Order-to-Cash product. Our current demonstration is the payment-exception worker with simulated execution.

The workflow

From order to cash, without the gaps people currently cover.

01 — Establish

The case, assembled.

Order, contract, customer record, invoice and payment terms matched across the systems that hold them separately. Every case records the ending it is aiming for before work starts, so nobody is guessing later at what finished means.

02 — Evidence

Confirmed before it goes out.

What this invoice actually needs is established up front: the PO number, the delivery confirmation, the customer's own portal rules. Not discovered when the portal rejects it.

03 — Chase

Persistently owned.

What's missing gets requested from the person who has it, and followed up, until it arrives or the case is escalated. Unmanaged waiting is the thing this step exists to remove.

04 — Match

Payments applied, not forced.

Exact matches applied. Near-matches surfaced as near-matches. A reconciliation requiring judgement gets a person, not a guess.

05 — Resolve

Disputes taken somewhere.

Short payments and disputes resolved against the contract that currently governs this customer, or routed to whoever actually holds authority, with the evidence assembled in one place.

06 — Close

A real ending.

The case ends: paid, credited, written off under authority, or properly refused. What it was aiming for and what actually happened are recorded separately, and they are allowed to differ.

The shape of it

What one month on one ledger slice looks like.

Not a saving we are claiming. The distribution of a month's work, so you can see where a Worker actually spends its time and how often it stops.

Near-matches sent to a person as near-matches, rather than reconciled on a guess.
Refused at the boundary

9
Decisions made under a rule that has since moved, found by name and marked stale.
Largest refusal
£2,400
A credit above the AR autonomous limit of £1,000. Escalated, approved by the controller declared in this example, then permitted.
Ended without an ending
0
Every case closed as completed, resolved, written off under authority, or honestly blocked.

An example month, showing the distribution the Worker is built for and the states it runs on today.

The boundary

Refusal is a normal outcome here, not a failure.

You set the line. Below it, work moves without you. Above it, a named person with real authority signs, or nothing executes.

  • A write-off above the account's current limit never runs without a named approver
  • A payment match that is not exact is surfaced, never forced
  • A discount above the approver's real authority stops, including when a human is present but unauthorised
  • Two current sources that disagree are held until someone with standing resolves it
  • A decision that relied on a policy which has since changed is marked stale and re-opened

Where it fits

Why this workflow first.

We started here because the pain already has money attached to it: delayed invoices, unmatched payments, missing evidence, disputes and write-offs waiting on manual intervention.

It runs against a shared operating model rather than its own private version of your company. That is what lets the next workflow start from what has already been established instead of from a blank page.

The authority map, your contract terms, the evidence a decision needs. Everything we establish here stays yours, and stays available to whatever you automate next.

Where the operating model comes from → ALEX
The pilot

One workflow, one bounded scope, a decision at the end.

We start with a question, not a workshop: where does an order stop moving today?

Week 1–2
Understand
Map where orders stop, what evidence is missing, who holds real authority, and what the contracts currently say.
Week 3–4
Authorize
Agree the boundary: what the Worker may do alone, and what always routes to a named person. You set the line.
Week 5–8
Execute
The current paid pilot replays historical payment exceptions with simulated execution. Live integration is outside its initial scope.
Close
Prove
One meaningful contradiction, one correct refusal, one completed case, with the evidence behind each.

Bring us the aged-debt line you'd most like to stop explaining, and we'll tell you within a week whether it's a fit.

01 — Who this is for

She is not checking whether the AI worked overnight.

An illustrative future Order-to-Cash scenario. Claire and the figures below are fictional, not a customer deployment or measured results.

Claire Bramwell Finance Director
UK manufacturing group · 9 people in the AR function · ~4,000 invoices a month

It is 8:15 on a Tuesday. Claire opens ALEX before her first meeting and reads four lines. A payment matched itself at 06:42. Three accounts are waiting on evidence somebody is already chasing. A customer changed a portal rule, and recorded dependencies identify work that needs reconsideration.

And a £4,200 write-off has stopped, because the approval authority it was resting on expired yesterday afternoon. In this illustration, the check stops execution.

The line she trusts is the one that refused.
Claire Bramwell at her desk before her first meeting, seen from behind, reading her ALEX screen. Four lines: a payment of £12,480 matched automatically at 06:42 against invoice INV-77381 for Northbridge Components; three accounts waiting on evidence that is already being chased, at 07:12; a portal rule change at 07:46 that re-opened twelve cases decided under the old rule; and at 08:03 a £4,200 write-off stopped, because the approval authority expired yesterday.
Matched 06:42

Payment matched · £12,480 It ended. Applied against INV-77381 with no person in the path.

In progress 07:12

3 accounts waiting on evidence Someone owns it. Waiting is a state with a name attached, not silence.

Re-opened 07:46

Portal rule changed · 12 cases The old rule was superseded, so what depended on it was marked stale.

Blocked 08:03

£4,200 write-off stopped It refused. The approval authority had expired, so nothing executed.

      Watch it refuse to answer a question it cannot support.

      An illustrative source-currency check: an available number is not necessarily a current answer. This scripted example explains why unresolved evidence must remain visible.

      What is Meridian Industrial’s current credit limit?

      The current limit for Meridian Industrial is £
      Stopped, mid-sentence
      What is missing
      No current source establishes a credit limit for this account.
      What was found
      £50,000, in Credit & collections policy v3, superseded 14 months ago. It is still searchable. It no longer governs anything.
      Who settles it
      R. Hale, Credit Control. The one person whose authority covers this account at this value.

      It had a number. It had a source. It refused to present a superseded figure as current, and it named who can settle it instead.

      Reviewed rules
      Evidence-linked conditions are reviewed and activated.
      Separate approval
      The proposer cannot approve its own action.
      Execution checks
      ACE checks the proposed action before simulated execution.
      Evidence record
      The decision and simulated receipt remain inspectable.

      These mechanisms have been exercised in internal tests and the payment demonstration. They are not guarantees of extraction accuracy or live customer outcomes. Independent process-owner evaluation remains ahead. Watch what is demonstrated →
