Our take
Plooto was formed to solve a really big problem - that the majority of all businesses fail due to poor management of finances and cashflow. Traditional solutions for small businesses are expensive or faulty, leaving many owners to rely on consumer products or send checks.
Plooto offers cash flow management tools that enable businesses to automate accounts payable and receivable functions under a single platform. To find a solution that does both is rare, which is why the company has garnered both interest and investment since founding.
The company's success will likely rely on its ability to address the challenges of as many entities as possible, which is has continued to invest in further customizing its product. So long as it can answer the evolving needs of the space, we predict a bright future for Plooto.
