Key Features / Benefits
Daily sales reconciliation
We implement direct data validation pipelines between your POS and general ledger to ensure accurate revenue recognition aligned with daily transactional performance. This enables automated daily journal entries that support real-time P&L integrity.
POS Integrations
TRIS facilitates API-level or middleware POS integrations with your financial systems, eliminating manual data handling. This ensures seamless sales ingestion, reduced error rates, and structured financial mapping across multiple revenue centers.
Accounts Payable (AP) Management & Workflow
We configure and manage AP automation workflows, including invoice ingestion (EDI or manual), multi-level approval hierarchies, scheduled disbursement calendars, and vendor reconciliation protocols. This structure minimizes exception handling and supports audit-ready documentation.
Third-Party Receivable Reconciliation
We implement automated reconciliation models for third-party platforms (e.g., Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub), comparing remittance reports against POS and bank deposits. This ensures accurate revenue attribution and recovery of missing funds due to payout variances.
Inventory Reporting
We generate periodic inventory valuation reports through integrated count procedures and COGS models. This includes theoretical vs. actual usage analysis to detect shrinkage, over-portioning, or supplier discrepancies at the item level.
Bank Activity Monitoring
Daily bank feed ingestion and rule-based transaction categorization allow for continuous cash monitoring. Exceptions and anomalies are flagged in real time to support treasury function oversight and fraud detection.
Bank and Balance Reconciliation
We perform GL-to-bank reconciliation on a monthly cadence, validating all debits, credits, and clearing transactions. Supporting schedules are prepared to confirm alignment between sub-ledgers, cash accounts, and trial balances.
