Selecting the right B2B payment solution can determine whether your business thrives with healthy cash flow or struggles with working capital constraints. While Versapay offers accounts receivable automation for enterprise teams and Riviera Finance provides non-recourse invoice factoring services, Resolve Pay delivers an integrated platform combining net terms financing with comprehensive AR automation in a single solution. Understanding these fundamental differences between AR software, invoice factoring, and integrated platforms helps manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers select the approach that matches their cash flow needs, operational requirements, and growth objectives.
When B2B companies evaluate payment solutions, the choice between AR automation software, traditional factoring, and integrated platforms becomes critical for operational efficiency and cash flow management. Versapay operates as an accounts receivable automation platform designed for enterprise teams with strong existing cash flow. Riviera Finance functions as a non-recourse invoice factoring company providing cash advances on outstanding invoices. Resolve Pay takes an integrated approach, combining net terms financing, buyer credit assessment, invoicing, payment processing, and AR automation through a unified platform serving B2B merchants, manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers.
The B2B payments market encompasses three distinct categories, each serving different operational models and business objectives. Understanding these fundamental differences helps finance leaders select tools aligned with their growth stage and execution capacity.
Accounts receivable automation platforms like Versapay serve as workflow management systems for finance teams. These platforms provide invoice delivery, payment collection portals, cash application automation, and analytics dashboards that help AR teams manage their collection activities. The value proposition centers on improving operational productivity through better workflow management and visibility. However, these systems require strong existing cash flow since they do not provide financing.
Invoice factoring companies like Riviera Finance represent the traditional financing approach, purchasing outstanding invoices to provide cash advances. According to Investopedia's guide to factoring companies, these companies typically advance a substantial portion of invoice value, with the factoring company managing collection responsibilities. The value proposition centers on immediate cash access without traditional bank loans.
Integrated B2B payment platforms like Resolve Pay represent a paradigm shift combining both capabilities. Rather than choosing between AR automation or financing, Resolve Pay's accounts receivable platform delivers invoice advances alongside automated invoicing, collections, and reconciliation. For eligible approved invoices, sellers can generally receive advances within 1-2 business days, while Resolve Pay supports invoicing, reminders, collections, and reconciliation through integrated workflows. The platform offers non-recourse protection on eligible approved financed invoices, with Resolve Pay assuming the covered buyer credit-default risk under the applicable financing agreement.
The distinction lies in how each solution organizes financing and receivables management. Resolve Pay integrates buyer credit assessment, net terms financing, invoicing, collections, and payment workflows in a single B2B platform.
Accounts receivable software automates the invoice-to-cash cycle, reducing manual work and accelerating payment collection. For B2B companies extending net terms to business buyers, AR software manages invoice generation, delivery, payment reminders, reconciliation, and reporting.
Versapay positions itself as an enterprise AR automation platform processing substantial annual payment volumes. The platform focuses on collaborative AR workflows, allowing buyers and sellers to communicate directly within the system about invoice disputes or payment timing. Versapay achieves high straight-through cash application rates through AI-powered payment matching.
Riviera Finance provides receivables management services alongside its factoring operations. Its Riviera Online Account Management (ROAM) platform supports invoice creation, invoice uploads, account reporting, credit checks, and transaction monitoring. Riviera also manages collections on factored receivables.
Resolve Pay includes comprehensive AR automation as part of its integrated platform. The system automates invoice generation synced from ERP systems, smart payment reconciliation using machine learning, and multi-channel collection sequences. Unlike Versapay, Resolve Pay also provides invoice financing on eligible approved invoices, meaning businesses get both operational efficiency and accelerated cash flow from a single platform.
Invoice factoring allows businesses to convert outstanding receivables into cash by selling invoices to a third-party factoring company. The factor advances a percentage of invoice value upfront and manages collection responsibilities.
Versapay does not provide invoice financing or factoring services. The platform focuses exclusively on AR automation, meaning businesses using Versapay must establish separate factoring relationships or wait for customer payments to receive cash.
Riviera Finance operates as a non-recourse invoice factoring company with decades of experience. Riviera Finance provides non-recourse invoice factoring and assumes credit risk on qualifying purchased receivables. The company typically advances a substantial portion of eligible invoice value after verification and approval. Non-recourse factoring means Riviera Finance assumes the credit risk on approved factored invoices, subject to its contractual terms.
Resolve Pay provides non-recourse net terms financing, with advance amounts of up to 100% available on eligible approved invoices depending on program terms and underwriting. Approved advances generally arrive within 1-2 business days. Unlike traditional factoring, Resolve maintains the seller's branded customer experience throughout the payment process. Buyers interact with white-labeled payment portals, not a third-party factor. Resolve Pay assumes covered buyer credit-default risk on eligible approved financed invoices, subject to program terms and exclusions.
Versapay positions itself as a collaborative accounts receivable platform designed to accelerate invoice-to-cash cycles for enterprise teams. The platform emphasizes buyer-seller collaboration, allowing direct communication about invoices within the system.
Versapay provides deep integrations with enterprise ERP systems including NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics. These native connections enable bi-directional data sync for invoice and payment information. However, Versapay does not support QuickBooks Online or Xero, creating a gap for mid-market companies using these popular accounting platforms.
Versapay implementation requirements depend on the organization's ERP environment, integration scope, and AR workflows. Businesses should confirm the expected deployment schedule and technical requirements during evaluation.
Riviera Finance operates as a non-recourse invoice factoring company founded in 1969, providing cash advances on outstanding B2B invoices. The company emphasizes personal relationships and funding for businesses needing working capital.
Riviera Finance advances a portion of eligible invoice value after verification and approval. The advance amount depends on the customer's creditworthiness, industry, invoice characteristics, and factoring agreement. A portion of the invoice may be held in reserve until customer payment. The specific reserve arrangement and factoring terms depend on the agreement.
Riviera emphasizes personal service with individual account representatives managing relationships. The company handles collection activities on factored invoices. Riviera Finance provides customer credit assessment through its factoring services and offers FastCredit for online credit checks and qualifying approvals.
Riviera Finance provides its Riviera Online Account Management (ROAM) platform, which includes invoice management, reporting, invoice uploads, credit checks, and QuickBooks connectivity. The ROAM platform supports factoring administration and transaction monitoring.

The platform serves manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers seeking to streamline receivables management while accelerating cash flow.
Resolve Pay provides non-recourse protection on eligible approved financed invoices.

AI-powered automation: From credit assessment to collections, Resolve Pay uses artificial intelligence to reduce manual work. AI-powered collections automatically manage multi-channel outreach sequences, intelligent escalation, and interaction logging.
By combining these capabilities, Resolve Pay helps B2B sellers streamline the invoice-to-cash cycle while maintaining flexibility in how customers purchase and pay.
Resolve Pay combines buyer credit assessment, net terms financing, invoicing, collections, and reconciliation in one platform. Eligible approved invoices can receive upfront financing while business buyers pay on agreed net terms.

AR automation optimizes invoice-to-cash workflows through automated invoice delivery, payment reminders, collections, and cash application. These platforms improve operational efficiency but do not provide financing. Invoice factoring provides immediate cash by purchasing invoices, with the factor managing collections. Resolve Pay integrates both approaches, delivering upfront payments on eligible approved invoices alongside comprehensive AR automation workflows.
