Overview
Sidetrade is a French, publicly listed order-to-cash vendor founded in 2000 by Olivier Novasque, who is still CEO. Its O2C Intelligence Platform covers the accounts receivable side of finance in separate modules: invoice and e-invoice delivery, collections, cash application, dispute and deduction management, credit risk, a customer portal and cash forecasting. Aimie, its agentic AI layer, sits on top. It includes a Cash Collection Agent that can handle emails, calls and voicemail, plus agents for cash application and credit analysis. These draw on a large data lake of B2B payment behaviour to predict when customers will pay and to rank collection work. The platform suits multinational manufacturers, distributors and services groups with large receivables ledgers spread across many entities, currencies and countries. It is not a fit for small businesses looking for an invoicing app. Pricing is quote-only and depends on revenue in scope, modules, users and transaction volume. AI agents reportedly carry a fixed monthly fee per agent with capped executions. Contracts tend to be multi-year, and there is no free trial. Integrations include prebuilt connectors for SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365, connections to AP portals such as SAP Ariba and Coupa, and a REST API. In October 2025 Sidetrade bought the Australian vendor ezyCollect to cover smaller APAC customers. Its main limitation is implementation: several reviewers report long go-lives and cash application automation that fell short of what the demo promised, especially for remittances and deductions. It also has no general ledger or accounts payable functions of its own.
