Auto dealerships process numerous financial transactions daily, including vehicle sales, service charges, parts sales, and financing. Managing these transactions efficiently is critical for maintaining accurate records, preventing revenue leakage, and ensuring smooth business operations. Traditional reconciliation methods often involve manual entries, multiple payment processors, and increased chances of human error.

- Manual data entry leading to errors and inefficiencies
- Delays in reconciling daily transactions across different departments
- Difficulty tracking refunds, chargebacks, and disputed payments
