Automate what your ERP can’t

Most ERP systems only match incoming payments if there’s a KID, OCR, FIK or invoice number. Everything else? That’s manual work — often scattered across emails, PDFs, and guesswork.

Aritma Bookkeeping connects incoming payments to the right customer, invoice, or project — even without a clear reference. Less manual work. More control.

What others are saying about Aritma

The collaboration has worked very well. Aritma has been able to understand our unique challenges and has safely and quickly guided us through a critical area for our business.

Espen Hytta

Director IT Services

Aritma Pay is an agile third-party solution. The implementation from Aritma's side was efficient, and the best part is that our online banking and ERP users do not notice any changes in their daily work after transitioning to the ISO format.

How do we differ from our competitors?

A flexible rule system allows us to handle almost anything.

checkmark

Our competitors are more rigid.

checkmark

We can set any field to whatever the customer wants.

checkmark

The customer doesn’t have to adapt to us — our system can be adapted to the customer’s needs without requiring new development.

Support for multiple data sources.

checkmark

We can base our process on payment files, like our competitors does, but we can also use bank statement files. This allows us to post transactions that AutoPay cannot (e.g., bank fees).

Initially, we focus only on bank data, but Commerce and other data sources can also be implemented later.

Common questions about Smart Bookkeeping

What is payment matching?

Payment matching is the process of linking incoming payments from your bank to the correct customer invoices or accounts in your ERP system. When done manually, it often involves searching through transactions, reading payment messages, and matching amounts by hand. With automation, this process becomes instant and error-free — ensuring every payment is matched to the right place.

What is automated payment reconciliation?

Automated payment reconciliation is the process of matching incoming payments from your bank with open invoices in your ERP system — without manual effort. Aritma Smart Bookkeeping uses flexible rules and data from both your ERP and bank to automatically match, post, and close transactions, even when references are missing or unstructured.

How does Aritma Smart Bookkeeping differ from ERP-based reconciliation?

Most ERP systems can only match payments with structured references such as invoice or KID/OCR numbers. Aritma goes beyond that by applying intelligent rules to unstructured data – like payer names, amounts, or messages – and automatically posts transactions once matched. This saves significant time and reduces reconciliation errors.

Can it handle payments without invoice numbers or references?

Yes. That’s one of Aritma’s main strengths. The solution can identify and match unstructured payments using all available data, allowing your finance team to process transactions that would otherwise require manual intervention.

Does it integrate with my ERP system?

Aritma integrates with most leading ERP systems. The setup is fast and requires minimal IT involvement. You can easily export open postings, import results, and customise rules according to your specific workflows.

How secure is the solution?

Aritma is built with enterprise-level security, following strict data handling and encryption standards. All connections between banks and ERP systems are secured, and customer data is never exposed to third parties.

How much manual work can be automated?

Our customers typically automate between 90–99% of all incoming payment matches. The remaining exceptions are easy to review manually within the same interface. This frees up your team for higher-value tasks like analysis and reporting.

Can Aritma handle multiple banks or ERP systems?

Yes — the solution is designed for companies with complex setups. Whether you manage multiple subsidiaries, ERP systems, or banking partners, Aritma ensures unified reconciliation and posting across your financial landscape.

Is Aritma compliant with ISO 20022 and future payment standards?

Yes. Aritma’s platform is fully aligned with ISO 20022 standards and supports the transition away from Direct Remittance and legacy formats like Telepay. This ensures long-term compliance with Nordic and European banks.

What’s required to get started?

Implementation is fast and straightforward. We’ll help you connect your ERP and bank accounts, configure your matching rules, and run initial tests. Most customers are live within days – not weeks.

Who benefits most from Aritma Smart Bookkeeping?

Finance teams handling large payment volumes, multi-entity organisations, and companies struggling with unstructured or international payments see the biggest impact. The solution reduces manual posting, improves data accuracy, and enhances financial visibility.
