Could you build this?
Partial While an LLM workflow app can draft collection emails, reliable RPA/browser automation across complex enterprise AP portals (Coupa, Ariba) and deep ERP cash matching is notoriously brittle.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an integration backend (Python/Node) connecting via read-only APIs or database connectors to ERPs (NetSuite, SAP), headless browser automation scripts robust against bot detection/MFA to log into varied vendor portals (Coupa/Ariba), and specialized reconciliation algorithms matching payment remittances to ledger line items with strict audit trails.
