If your team’s still reconciling payouts manually, you're flying blind.

Payments are broken. Let’s fix that.

Payment data has become a high-complexity, low-trust problem. For anyone dealing with online payment data, mismatched numbers, unclear fees, and fragmented systems make it hard to answer the simplest question: “Where’s the money?”

Payment chaos: why it happens                                                       
You’re working with Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, maybe more. Each one reports differently. Net settlements obscure true costs. Refunds come late. Chargebacks surprise you. FX fees get buried. The payout arrives, but linking it to the original transactions? That’s manual, time-consuming work.

 

Real problems companies deal with:

  • Scattered data across PSPs in different formats
  • Hidden costs due to bundled payouts and unclear pricing
  • Timing gaps in refunds, chargebacks, and FX settlements
  • Currency confusion and unmatched exchange rates
  • Inconsistent reporting that slows down accounting and
    decision-making
  • The inability to defend tax filings by country, especially under audit

Why universal payment analytics matters

When payments, accounting, and finance teams rely on different truths, business stalls. A single source of truth changes that. If your job involves reconciling numbers, fighting for accuracy, or explaining financial results, this isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s your new baseline.
