Massive payment and transaction volumes

RecVue Resolution/Response:

The RecVue platform was purpose-built, using a microservices design, with the ability to process high volumes of data at enterprise speed as one of the key considerations. This solution was designed with agility and flexibility to handle big volumes at speed and scale, to accommodate future product and service offerings as your business initiatives evolve.

Why Its Important:

Financial transactions are typically not singular activities, but rather a step in the lifecycle of business flow, leading to a multitude of additional transactions. Such transaction multipliers drive up the volume of today’s financial transactions so scalability requirements must always consider all transactions to come out of each individual transaction. Creating an invoice or sales order , or any other transaction, can result in a few lines or a thousand lines. Today’s successful enterprises must be able to handle the potential for millions of financial transactions every day.
