Questions

The things people ask first

How do Avanto's Financial Services help contract furniture dealers and manufacturers?

Avanto removes the manual bookkeeping and accounts payable work that drains commercial furniture teams, including invoice matching, vendor payment processing, collections, deposit processing and month-end reporting. Dealers using Avanto report 87% time savings on AP processing and save an average of $75,000 per year by automating accounts payable alone.

What do Levels 1 to 3 mean?

Levels scale the depth of the work rather than the list of services. Level 1 is transaction processing, such as entering vendor bills and applying cash. Level 2 adds reconciliation, close support and reporting. Level 3 is controller-level oversight, covering board reporting, budget and forecast, ERP administration and lender reporting. Every level is available to every client, independent of the workflow services Avanto runs.

Can Avanto integrate with our accounting or ERP software?

Yes. Avanto integrates with virtually any accounting or ERP system used by contract furniture dealers and manufacturers, including e-manage|ONE, CFI Suite, Hedberg, NetSuite and ProjectMatrix, through APIs, EDI or Avanto's Universal Connector. No platform replacement is required.

Will this scale as our order volume grows?

Yes. Whether you are processing 50 or 500 orders a month, the AP automation, collections and financial reporting workflows absorb the extra volume without additional back-office headcount, which is what lets dealers grow without the operational bottleneck that usually comes with it.

Do we have to take all of it?

No. The five families are independent. Dealers commonly start with AP support alone, then add AR and month-end close once the first is running. Controller and CFO support is usually the last piece added, when the reporting burden outgrows the internal team.

Start with the piece that hurts most.

Most clients begin with accounts payable, because it is the largest, most repetitive load. Take the five-minute quiz or talk to us directly.
