The growing demand for digital payment services has driven a requirement for online payment gateway integration with accounting and ERP systems.
As business grows and more and more transactions start entering the system an organisation will need to look at automating these processes, otherwise they will have to employ more staff just to monitor or report on exceptions that may or may not occur.
