Most SMR quotes can be automatically authorised due to our sophisticated rules engine.
Athoris minimises effort and maximises efficiency, automatically validating the work order content against the contract terms and conditions.
No more endless phone calls, waiting times, and extra overheads.
You can now focus on your main activities and boost your efficiency.

Payment Disputes Eradication

Stop receiving an overwhelming barrage of invoices.
Athoris provides a fully integrated workflow and data transfer between a leasing company, a fleet operator and repairer systems.
It also produces electronic and dematerialised invoices, including authorised items only, which are fully reconciled before submission to the lease company accounting systems for repairer payment.
Contracts and rules are automatically checked against input files, leading to unequalled accuracy – no more posting or correcting invoicing.

The administration reduction by digitisation is greatly appreciated, especially at the accounting level. Athoris shortens delays in terms of cash flow and payment. For us, the strong points of Athoris are, without any doubt, time-saving and a better cash flow.

With Athoris, the time saved processing files is greatly satisfying. Before its integration, we processed everything by phone (1 to 2 hours on the phone to process between 20 and 30 files for an Account Manager). Today, processing a file is just a click, with the automated authorisation being transferred directly to the invoice. Moreover, we save a lot of time on invoice payments.

The ease of use of this B2B platform brings our organisation real productivity gains throughout the value chain. It has become essential for car manufacturers and their members of aftersales networks. Athoris’ agility includes functionalities for each of its leasing companies’ customers to independently set up automatic scheduling rules. This automation is made possible by relying on the OEM’s data, including parts catalogues, maintenance plans, pricing grids, and specific protocol conditions.
