Flexio specialises in automating accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) for small and medium businesses (SMBs) by facilitating payouts, pay-ins, communication, and integrations with enterprise resource planning systems (ERPs) and accounting software.
The company said that it will utilise the fresh funds to enhance its offerings to help businesses automate bill payments and invoicing. The firm also plans to ramp up the team and sales.
Flexio CEO and co-founder Nathan Schorr noted: “The traditional processes are inefficient and arduous, preventing timely payments and using up valuable employee resources while also negatively impacting cash flow management.”
According to data by World Bank, the B2B electronic payments reached $180bn in transactions in 2020 in Mexico alone.
