A Legacy Built on Integrity and Innovation
At Smyyth and Carixa, our story is one of dedication—to doing what is right, to our clients’ success, and to the enduring relationships we build. It’s a journey marked by innovation and a relentless focus on creating transformative solutions for our clients. Our history is deeply rooted in Creditek, founded in 1982 by our Chairman, John Metzger. Creditek revolutionized Accounts Receivable, Deduction Management, and Trade Promotion solutions, becoming the leader in these fields for Fortune 1000 brands across industries such as CPG-Food, Consumer Goods, Consumer Electronics, and Pharmaceuticals. While Creditek was acquired in 2002, Smyyth remained and evolved into a dynamic provider of cutting-edge order-to-cash solutions, culminating in the launch of the Carixa Suite in 2017.
The Evolution of Smyyth and Carixa
Originally established in 1906, Smyyth transitioned from a staffing consultancy for credit and accounts receivable to an innovator in software-enabled solutions. This transformation was driven by our commitment to client success and the pursuit of excellence in automation. In 2018, we divested Credit2B to sharpen our focus on Carixa, a platform designed to automate and optimize all facets of order-to-cash, including credit, collections, deductions, and trade promotion settlement, and incorporated Carixa technology to power Smyyth A/R Services.
Passionate About Client Value
Our clients’ success is at the heart of everything we do. With decades of expertise in accounts receivable, collection, and deduction management, we’ve proven that robust technology and sound strategy can turn transactional processes into significant contributors to profit and working capital. Our obsession with optimizing accounts receivable processes is matched only by our passion for delivering tangible financial
benefits to our clients. Carixa is more than software—it’s a commitment to creating value through innovation.
Expertise That Delivers Results
Over the years, we’ve managed tens of billions of dollars in complex receivables, addressing everything from trade promotion bill-backs to compliance and shipping errors. This unparalleled experience has enabled us to design advanced automation solutions that minimize revenue leakage and maximize client value. By combining cutting-edge technology with our team’s expertise, we ensure that our clients stay ahead in an ever-evolving marketplace.
Commitment to Automation and Innovation
The success of Carixa-enabled deduction services inspired us to go further. Leveraging our deep industry knowledge, we developed the Carixa Cloud Suite, which integrates advanced automation, robotic process automation, AI, and machine learning. From trade promotion automation to cash application processing, Carixa eliminates routine tasks and accelerates workflows, enabling our clients to focus on what matters most—their business success.

At Smyyth, we are driven by a long-term vision and a steadfast commitment to integrity. As a self-funded and profitable business from the start, we have the freedom to prioritize what truly matters—our clients’ success. Free from external pressures, we invest in our technology and services with a focus on enduring value. Carixa continues to evolve, informed by our clients’ needs, deep expertise, and the millions of transactions we process annually.
