Why Matchbox?

Automated matching of all EFT payments (POS/webshops/marketplaces)

Minimal reconciliation and posting effort

Matchbox first imports and harmonizes all sales and settlement data across channels, and then matches everything intelligently. In the next step, the software automatically creates the corresponding posting entries and exports them to your ERP, your finance system or your accounting software.

Intelligent suggestions help you quickly resolve the remaining differences — and turn them into “matches” as well.

Intuitive Payment Analytics Center

The Payment Analytics Center provides a valuable graphical overview of the composition of all payments as well as the corresponding fee structures. The ideal basis for effective controlling and better strategic decisions!

Open, flexible interfaces
