Smarter finance starts with connected intelligence: USTPay and Data Courage announce partnership

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how CFOs think about performance. From improving AR DSO to uncovering the stories behind financial data, AI has evolved from a trend to a trusted partner in decision-making.

That’s why USTPay and Data Courage are partnering to bring next-generation financial insights and payments innovation to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central users. Together, our solutions give finance leaders the clarity, foresight, and control they need to drive measurable results in their organizations.

Why AI matters to the modern CFO

Today’s CFO is no longer just the keeper of the books. They are a strategist, a technologist, and a data storyteller. Yet traditional financial systems still rely heavily on manual processes, static reports, and siloed data. This creates blind spots that make it difficult to predict risk, optimize cash flow, or communicate the “why” behind the numbers. AI changes that.

In Business Central, AI tools like Microsoft’s Late Payment Prediction app can forecast which invoices are likely to be paid late. This gives finance teams the insight to take early action, tighten DSO, and free up working capital for growth. USTPay’s integrated payment solutions ensure those insights turn into faster cash collection, closing the loop between prediction and action.

From prediction to precision: bringing numbers to life

Data Courage’s Intelligence Suite transforms how leaders read and react to performance data. Instead of static statements, CFOs gain interactive dashboards that reveal trends, outliers, and growth opportunities. AI highlights what truly matters; where margins are shrinking, where cash flow is tightening, and which customers may become risks or opportunities.

Combined with USTPay’s payment automation and Business Central’s connected ERP foundation, finance leaders get a unified ecosystem that connects forecasting, collections, and financial storytelling.

This partnership gives CFOs three major advantages:

• Predictive visibility: AI models that anticipate cash flow challenges and payment delays

• Actionable automation: Embedded payment workflows that shorten the order-to-cash cycle

• Financial clarity: Interactive intelligence tools that transform numbers into decisions

  
  

Turning finance into a growth driver

In the past, finance leaders focused on reporting what happened. Now, they can influence what happens next. AI gives CFOs the ability to shape performance rather than simply measure it. With unified systems like Business Central, insights flow across sales, operations, and finance, creating a single version of truth that everyone can act on.

That’s the shared mission of USTPay and Data Courage: to help organizations turn financial data into a competitive edge.

Together, USTPay and Data Courage are redefining what’s possible for the modern CFO: faster payments, smarter insights, and a finance function that powers strategic growth.
