Automated Rent Payment Reconciliation and Exception Report Generation Workflow
This workflow is designed to automate the verification of rent payments and the generation of anomaly reports. It can monitor bank statements in a local folder in real-time, using AI intelligent agents to analyze tenant and property information, accurately identifying issues such as unpaid rent, amount discrepancies, and contract expirations. By generating structured reports and updating local Excel spreadsheets, it significantly improves verification efficiency and accuracy, ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data, making it suitable for property management companies and landlords.
Workflow Name
Automated Rent Payment Reconciliation and Exception Report Generation Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automatically monitors newly uploaded bank statement files (in CSV format) within a local folder. Leveraging an AI intelligent agent combined with local Excel data (tenant information and property details), it performs precise reconciliation of rent payments. It accurately identifies issues such as unpaid rent, abnormal amounts, contract expirations, and outstanding fees, then automatically generates structured exception reports and updates the local Excel spreadsheets. The entire process is self-hosted locally, ensuring data privacy and security without uploading sensitive information to the cloud.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional rent reconciliation is cumbersome and prone to errors, especially when managing a large number of tenants. Manually cross-checking bank statements against tenant contracts is time-consuming and often delays issue detection. This workflow significantly reduces manual intervention through automation and AI-driven analysis, improving reconciliation accuracy and operational efficiency while promptly detecting and alerting on exceptional payment cases requiring attention.
