Quick Receivable vs Certinia

Q: Can Quick Receivable work alongside Certinia ERP?

Yes. Quick Receivable can sit alongside Certinia on the same Salesforce org, adding dedicated collections automation on top of the AR ledger that Certinia manages. Certinia handles the accounting layer — GL entries, billing, revenue recognition. Quick Receivable handles the collector-action layer — AI prioritization, dunning sequences, dispute workflows, customer portals, and collector dashboards. These are complementary rather than competing functions for companies already on Certinia ERP.

Q: Both Certinia and Quick Receivable are Salesforce-native. What is the actual difference?

Both platforms are genuinely built on the Salesforce platform. The difference is purpose. Certinia is a financial system of record: it manages your general ledger, accounts payable, revenue recognition, and multi-entity consolidation. Quick Receivable is a collections automation tool: it automates outreach, prioritization, dispute management, and collector workflows on top of the financial data your ERP already manages.

Q: Is Certinia's AR module sufficient for collections automation?

Certinia's AR module handles core AR ledger functions: billing, cash application, and basic collections management within the ERP context. Dedicated AR collections automation — AI-powered invoice prioritization, configurable multi-step dunning workflows, dispute management with full audit trails, collector performance dashboards, promise-to-pay tracking, and AI tools for email drafting and risk scoring — goes beyond what an ERP AR module typically delivers. This is the gap Quick Receivable fills, either as a standalone tool or alongside an existing Certinia deployment.

Q: How does Quick Receivable pricing compare to Certinia?

Quick Receivable is $100 per user per month, billed annually, with a one-time implementation fee of $0 to $10,000 based on complexity. Volume discounts are available for teams of 50 or more users. Certinia is priced as an enterprise ERP suite; publicly available estimates typically range from $100 to $200 or more per user per month for the full platform. Verify current Certinia pricing directly with their team.

Q: Does Quick Receivable integrate with SAP?

Yes. Native SAP integration with three-times daily delta synchronization is included for all users at no additional cost. WillScot, a Fortune 1000 client, runs this in production. Their SAP data refresh improved from once daily with their prior platform to three delta loads per day with Quick Receivable. Quick Receivable sits on top of SAP — it does not replace it.

Q: Who is Certinia best suited for?

Certinia is purpose-built for professional services firms — consulting, technology services, staffing, media — that want to run their entire financial operation on Salesforce, including project-based billing, revenue recognition under ASC 606, multi-entity consolidation, and full GL and AP management.

Q: Does Quick Receivable handle revenue recognition or general ledger functions?

No. Quick Receivable is a collections automation platform, not a financial system of record. It does not manage revenue recognition, the general ledger, accounts payable, or multi-entity consolidation. These functions remain in your existing ERP. Quick Receivable picks up at the collections layer: the open invoices your ERP generates and the process of getting them paid.

Q: What industries does Quick Receivable serve?

Quick Receivable serves equipment rental, construction, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution companies, along with project-based organizations running SAP and Salesforce. WillScot (modular space and portable storage) is the named Fortune 1000 reference.

Q: Does Quick Receivable require a long-term contract?

No. Quick Receivable is billed annually per user with no multi-year lock-in requirement. Users can be added at any time with prorated charges. Volume discounts are available for teams of 50 or more users.

Both Run on Salesforce. Only One Is Built Specifically for AR Collections.

Certinia Replaces Your Financial System. Quick Receivable Automates Your Collections Layer.

This is the most important distinction on this page, and it is not a criticism of Certinia. It is a scope clarification that determines whether either platform is right for the problem you are actually trying to solve.

What Certinia Is Built To Do

Certinia is a financial system of record. Its AR module handles the accounting ledger entries billing customers, recording revenue, applying cash to open invoices, managing multi-entity AR balances. These are ERP-level functions. They are essential. But they are different from AR collections automation: the outreach, prioritization, dispute resolution, and collector workflow management that determines whether your open invoices actually get paid on time.

What Quick Receivable Is Built To Do

Quick Receivable is a collections automation layer. It does not touch your general ledger, your revenue recognition policies, or your chart of accounts. It picks up where your ERP leaves off: taking the open invoices your ERP generates and automating everything that happens between invoice creation and cash receipt prioritizing overdue accounts, sending dunning sequences, tracking disputes, managing collector workflows, and providing live dashboards for finance leadership.

When You Need Certinia

Certinia is the right platform if you want to run your entire financial operation on Salesforce: replace your current accounting system, manage revenue recognition under ASC 606, bill from project milestones, handle multi-entity consolidation, and keep all financial data on the Salesforce platform. It is especially strong for professional services firms with project-based billing and complex revenue recognition requirements.

When You Need Quick Receivable

Quick Receivable is the right platform if your ERP is already in place SAP, NetSuite, Certinia, or others and what you need is a dedicated layer to automate the collections process on top of it. You are not trying to replace your financial system. You are trying to reduce DSO, automate outreach, manage disputes efficiently, and give your collectors the AI tools and dashboards they need to work more effectively.

AR Collections Automation Does Not Require Replacing Your Financial System

The cost difference between Certinia and Quick Receivable is not primarily about price per user. It is about what each platform includes. When you purchase Certinia to address AR collections, you are also purchasing the general ledger, accounts payable, revenue recognition engine, multi-entity consolidation, and optionally PSA. For companies that need all of that, Certinia is reasonably priced for its scope. For companies that need AR collections automation specifically, the scope mismatch means the effective cost of the AR collections capability alone is carrying the full ERP.

~$100–$200+/user/month

Enterprise ERP suite. Includes GL, AR, AP, billing, revenue rec, multi-entity, optional PSA. Implementation partner required. 3–12 month deployment. Based on publicly available estimates; verify with Certinia.

The Collections Layer That Lives Between Invoice Generation and Cash Receipt

Your ERP generates invoices and records payments. What happens in between the outreach, the follow-up, the dispute resolution, the collector prioritization is the collections layer. That is the gap Quick Receivable fills.

AI Collections Priority Sorting

Analyzes each open invoice against customer payment behavior, invoice age, account value, and historical patterns to rank accounts by collection risk. Collectors start every day with a prioritized action list inside Salesforce. No ERP module generates this automatically.

Multi-Step Dunning Automation

Configurable reminder sequences and escalation rules run automatically based on invoice age, account tier, and risk score. Standard follow-up occurs without collector intervention. Escalation routes to direct handling before invoices age past recovery thresholds.

Dispute Management with Full Audit Trai

Every dispute is opened, assigned, escalated, and resolved inside Salesforce with a timestamped audit log. Finance leadership sees every open dispute and its current status in a live dashboard. No manual spreadsheet. No email thread. Full traceability.

Real-Time Collector and Leadership Dashboards

DSO performance, aging buckets, collector activity, dispute status, and cash application metrics update live inside Salesforce. Your CFO and AR director see the same data as your collectors no exports, no scheduled reports, no version lag.

AI Draft Engine

Generates professional payment follow-up emails from invoice data. Eliminates the daily repetition of writing individual outreach messages while keeping communications clear, accurate, and on-brand for every account regardless of tier or aging bucket.

AI-Doc Contract and Policy Q&A

Upload contracts, credit terms, dispute policies, or billing agreements and ask questions directly. AI-Doc returns answers from the document itself. Your collectors and AR managers get accurate, fact-based answers instantly without searching through long policy files.

Promise to Pay Tracking

Logs customer payment commitments inside Salesforce and automatically monitors whether committed payments arrive on schedule. If a promised payment does not come in, follow-up triggers automatically without manual oversight.

AI Insight Financial Risk Scoring

Monitors payment behavior and credit utilization across your customer base. Assigns risk scores. Surfaces early warning signals before accounts become collection problems.
