The purchase of Keystroke.io, a specialist platform devoted to accounts receivable (AR) automation, has been announced by BravoTran, a prominent supplier of payables automation technology for international freight forwarders. This acquisition represents an industry first, as it allows BravoTran to integrate both payables and receivables automation into a single unified solution tailored for freight forwarders.

Managing receivables has long been a challenge for the industry. Inefficient AR processes often lead to delayed or short-paid invoices, creating ongoing cash flow problems for forwarders. Many companies struggle to comply with unique customer billing requirements, which results in frequent payment delays. At the same time, visibility into outstanding invoices is often limited, and setting up electronic data interchange (EDI) connections to meet customer mandates can be costly and time-consuming.

Keystroke.io was designed to address these challenges directly. Its pre-audit system provides a centralized dashboard that gives forwarders a clear, real-time view of invoice status across every channel. By managing customer billing EDI connections through a single, streamlined interface, Keystroke.io simplifies a process that has historically been fragmented and inefficient.

Tom Durrenberger, CEO of BravoTran, stated that Keystroke “resolves a recognized customer pain point.” “We’re rolling out this capability across our customer base to deliver an end-to-end financial automation platform that unifies payables and receivables. This will help our clients save significant time and money while reinforcing BravoTran’s position as the go-to provider of payables automation in freight forwarding. As of right now, the market has no alternative competing solution.

Co-founder David Haynes of Keystroke.io continued, “This acquisition demonstrates that our team has developed a cutting-edge solution. BravoTran’s emphasis on addressing the actual and urgent financial difficulties faced by forwarders made them the ideal acquisition. We are eagerly looking forward to grow the business together.

BravoTran has become the industry standard in payables automation, helping freight forwarders achieve tenfold improvements from day one through labor savings, faster cash flow, and stronger financial controls. Keystroke.io, with its specialized receivables automation technology, now adds a crucial layer that enhances accuracy, accelerates payments, and provides better visibility across complex invoicing relationships.
