Developed by Sidetrade, an AI-native company dedicated to Order-to-Cash. Aimie engages customers, qualifies invoices, and optimizes Order-to-cash strategies autonomously.** The decision reflects a growing trend among forward-looking finance organizations. In an environment marked by global volatility and operational complexity, legacy systems that are dominated by rigid ERP structures and static workflows have become increasingly inadequate. Rules-based automation and digital assistants, while useful, have reached their ceiling. Agentic AI is the new operating standard for competitive finance. **To stay ahead, CFOs are turning to Aimie to operationalize a new system of work: intelligent, autonomous, always on.** This shift positions Mistras Group among the first companies in the US to integrate agentic AI as an operational coworker. Aimie redefines what AI can do by transforming Order-to-Cash from a scripted back-office function into a self-optimizing system of intelligence. She is a teammate who manages cash collection. Purpose-built for corporate finance and **backed by nearly $10 trillion transactions in Sidetrade’s**[Data Lake](https://datalake.sidetrade.com/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=news&utm_campaign=COMMS18_FY26Q3_Mistras_Group_EN) , Aimie brings contextual intelligence to every interaction. Her capabilities include: - **Autonomous, context-driven calls** intelligently orchestrated across thousands of customer accounts; - **Continuous learning**from customer payment behaviors and live interactions to deliver tailored dialogue, in real-time; - **Integrating natively with the Sidetrade platform**to drive dynamic Order-to-Cash adjustments and real-time case management, without human intervention. Aimie delivers consistent, policy-aligned execution at scale, driving measurable gains in cash flow, reducing manual workload, and enabling finance teams to refocus on higher-value priorities. By embracing agentic AI, Mistras Group joins a growing group of enterprises that gain a structural advantage in financial execution. Those who hesitate risk being overtaken by faster, leaner, more adaptive competitors.
