The jobs

## The back-office jobs a distributor does by hand.

lumic’s FDEs start beside the person who does each job today, then build one agent per job, inside the systems the team already runs. A person approves each entry.

### Cash receipts

The agent reads remittances and ACH detail and keys them into the ERP for a person to approve.

- Agent · ERP + bank
- A person approves each entry

[Cash receipts and collections →](https://get-lumic.com/services/cash-receipts-and-collections/)

### Collections

From live aging, the agent drafts the collections email and the statement for each past-due customer. A person reviews each one and sends it.

- Agent · ERP + inbox
- A person sends every one

### Margin by customer, product and rep

Sales and gross margin read live from the ERP, across every company the business runs, in one view.

- Dashboard · ERP
- Replaces a daily export

### Vendor bills and POs

The agent reads each vendor bill, matches it to the purchase order, and flags a price difference before anyone pays. It also drafts purchase orders for approval.

- Agent · accounting software
- Approval-gated

### Month-end close

The agent prepares the recurring month-end entries and runs the tie-outs, including intercompany where a business runs more than one company.

- Agent · ERP
- The controller posts each entry

Approval and access

## Nothing posts without you.

### Nothing posts without you.

The agent prepares each entry. A person on your team checks it and approves it, and the final post stays in your hands. Dashboards only read.

### It touches only its job.

lumic gives each agent access to the screens and records its job needs, and nothing more. Every action it takes is logged.

### It runs where it fits.

Each agent works on its own dedicated computer, wherever fits your business, under its own login, inside the systems you already run. To read a document, it uses a cloud AI model.

lumic builds it, and keeps it working.

- Instead of → With lumic
- Keying every remittance by hand → An agent keys it; you approve
- Exporting the same reports every morning → Numbers live, no export
- Build-and-ghost consultants → A team that stays on
