Smarter payment runs: deciding what to pay and when
Paying everything on its due date ignores cash. Paying by gut ignores risk. Slingstone helps you plan payment runs with both in view.

A worksheet, not a list
Slingstone ranks open bills by priority, due date and available cash, and AI adds notes on risk — a vendor with a history of holds, a tax payment with penalties, a discount about to expire.
People release, always
Once the run is set, a person releases it. ACH payment files are generated for your bank, and every release is logged.
Intercompany sweeps
Where one entity funds another, Treasury calculates the working-capital sweep and records the intercompany entries.
