Solutions / Use case

Quote to cash. Every handoff automated.

CRM, ERP, billing, fulfillment, finance — when they don't talk, orders wait and revenue recognition lags. Tray.ai closes the gap.

Most O2C problems aren’t process problems — they’re integration problems.

Every team knows the steps. The breakdown is between the systems — CRM that doesn’t write to ERP at close, billing that doesn’t pick up fulfillment status, finance reconciling manually because the payment processor doesn’t feed the ERP. Tray.ai fires the downstream cascade automatically. The operations team manages by exception, not by copying data between seven tabs.

What a connected order-to-cash process looks like

CRM and ERP in sync at deal close

Deal closes in CRM, the downstream cascade fires — ERP order, billing setup, provisioning handoff — automatically.

Billing and invoicing without the lag

Invoice generation, revenue recognition, and payment collection run as automated workflows. Zuora syncs 2M+ records/day.

Fulfillment and logistics connected

Order status, shipment, and delivery events feed back into CRM and finance in real time. Auctane: 3B orders/year.

Exception handling without the spreadsheet

Failed payments, backorders, and contract amendments route to the right team. The escalation path is the workflow.

3B orders/year processed through Tray.ai

“Tray offers the flexibility and modularity we need to really accelerate the output of our small IT team.”

Corporate IT Manager, Auctane

Frequently asked questions

Which systems does Tray.ai connect in the O2C cycle? +

Salesforce, HubSpot (CRM), Zuora, Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly (billing), NetSuite, SAP, Oracle ERP (ERP/financials), Ironclad, DocuSign (contracts), ShipStation, FedEx, UPS (fulfillment), Snowflake, BigQuery (reporting). The universal HTTP client handles any remaining proprietary system. One workflow replaces five separate point-to-point integrations.

How does this compare to building custom integrations? +

Custom integrations between CRM and ERP typically take 4–12 weeks per connection and accumulate maintenance debt. Tray.ai's connector library starts from pre-built, production-tested integrations. Auctane saw 356% ROI in 3.6 months — $130K annual savings, 50 hours/month back to the operations team — compared to their prior approach.

What about high-volume and enterprise-scale order processing? +

Auctane runs 3B orders per year. Zuora syncs 2M+ records per day. The platform is built for the volumes enterprise O2C generates — no artificial throughput limits, no per-record pricing model.

Can AI agents help with order-to-cash workflows? +

Yes — exception handling is the most immediate win. Agents that route failed payments, identify contract discrepancies, and flag anomalous orders before they hit the reconciliation queue. The same Tray.ai platform that runs the O2C integration layer also runs Merlin Agent Builder — no second vendor to evaluate, no separate governance model.
