Our take
Upflow delivers a Financial Relationship Management solution to help B2B businesses create a better payment experience for customers. The idea is to allow the transition from chasing down outstanding invoices to engaging customers instead, making the whole process pain-free and digital.
Importantly, Upflow's platform integrates with other popular business accounting services like Xero and Quickbooks - positioning it as a standout option through ease-of-use. The company has received plaudits for this user-first approach in Europe, and has also taken on the infamously backward and cheque-heavy payments system in the US.
On top of this US expansion, the company has set its sights beyond the management of outstanding invoices. It is using new funding to deliver its own B2B payment platform, with a payment gateway to complement its accounts receivable automation solution.
