It’s no secret to anyone who’s read previous posts here that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are a boon for revenue cycle management — probably one of the strongest use cases for this type of technology, in fact, as reported by RevCycle Intelligence. “Integrating artificial intelligence into an RCM solution allows us to have data driven approaches to automate each step in the process, whether it’s when that first letter is going out, that first contact is happening, or that payment is going into a payment plan. Each step, there’s a model supporting that decision which helps a person to take the right action at the right time,” says Greg Allen, senior director of data science and product management at Ontario Systems.

Trade Finance is recognized as a vital tool to fuel global growth and support the world economy, but, as pymnts.com notes, it is far from a perfect instrument. For decades, trade finance has been caught in a web of paper-based documents, creating bottlenecks and friction at nearly every point of the process, from onboarding to financing payouts. As the industry pushes to modernize, it’s also facing scrutiny over its relationship with credit risk. Critics argue that some trade financing products have actually encouraged large corporates to pay their vendors late or force those suppliers into expensive financing arrangements.
