How Deltek Payments AR Automation for Ajera Works

Once payments are made, Ajera imports payment information and automatically applies the payment to the appropriate invoice and your company’s general ledger, saving your teams a tremendous amount of administrative time.

As a Deltek-built integration, this easy-to-set-up and easy-to-use integration will work for U.S. customers running single or multiple companies out of their instance of Ajera. i3 Merchant Solutions, Deltek Marketplace partner, has extensive experience with B2B payments and offers competitive pricing.
