The Digital Business Assistant by CashDirector

CashDirector is an artificial intelligence enabled and cloud-based digital platform that offers a Digital Business Assistant to MSMEs – mainly small firms, micro companies and entrepreneurs (including professionals, self-employed, craftsmen, retailers, etc.). MSMEs can save time by automating daily finance administrative tasks and better manage cash-flows by understanding real future cash inflows and outflows and obtaining financing in an automated process when needed.

“CashDirector is integrated with on-line banking and offered as a white-label or a partner label solution” – says Paolo Ravasi, General Manager Italy for CashDirector since February 2021. By partnering with us, banks and other providers of financial services can integrate our service into their online portals or apps as part of the their core banking or financing value proposition, branded with their own name and logo. Our business partners also obtain invaluable touch-points, otherwise not available to them, so that they can develop personalized offering to the existing and new MSME customers, assess the related risk more accurately and distribute the personalized offer in an automated and efficient way. As a result, our business partners generate additional revenue, reduce risk and enhance efficiency, well positioning themselves with MSMEs to become their preferred choice for financial services”.
