Bookkeeping for Insurance Brokers

Every day, your inbox fills with Interace-transfer notifications. Each one requires:

• Opening the notification
• Checking the amount
• Finding the customer
• Locating the invoice
• Manually recording the payment
• Sending a receipt

Multiply this by dozens of transactions, and you're looking at hours of manual work daily.

The Automate Insurance Solution (Zero Manual Intervention)


Smart Recognition Technology

• Reads Interac transfer descriptions: The system uses advanced pattern recognition to scan and interpret e-transfer descriptions, looking for specific identifiers like invoice numbers or customer names within the payment details.

• Matches invoice numbers automatically: Using intelligent matching algorithms, the system identifies and validates invoice numbers mentioned in the description against your Zoho Books database, ensuring accurate payment allocation.

• Identifies customer names: The system employs smart name recognition to match customer names in transfer descriptions with your client database, even handling slight variations in business names.

• Links payments to correct accounts: Once a match is found, the system automatically associates the payment with the correct customer account and invoice in Zoho Books, maintaining perfect transaction records.

Instant Processing

• Automatic payment recording: As soon as an e-transfer is received, the system creates a payment entry in Zoho Books with all relevant details including date, amount, and payment method.

• Real-time invoice updates: The matched invoice is instantly marked as paid, with payment status and remaining balance updated across all connected systems.

• Immediate receipt generation: Custom-branded payment receipts are automatically generated and prepared for sending as soonas the payment is processed.

• Instant client notification: The system automatically sends confirmation emails to clients, including payment details and updated invoice status.
