What We Do
Upwell uses artificial intelligence to automate and transform accounts receivable for transportation and logistics companies. Every dollar counts in this industry, but today’s landscape is too complex for companies to rely on back-office superheroes using manual processes and dated technologies. Many companies have thousands of dollars locked up in invoicing exceptions, and many don’t have reliable systems for knowing what’s been paid. Now there’s a better way. Upwell’s AI-powered platform empowers accounting and finance teams by improving cash flow, automating legacy processes, and enhancing the customer experience.
