Sidetrade , an AI-native company dedicated to Order-to-Cash, today announced launch of SAFE, the Sidetrade Agentic Framework for Enterprise. Every agent built on SAFE runs on Sidetrade own models, in Sidetrade own data centers, and on Sidetrade own token production. Framework designed to keep sensitive customer data away from every Frontier AI Lab and hyperscaler, match every agent action with most accurate and cost-efficient fine-tuned open-weight model, and bring full stack required for agentic Order-to-Cash under one roof. Announcement was made on September 10, 2026.
Running enterprise AI agent takes five layers. Almost no company controls all five. Sidetrade operates interconnected, secured data centers on both sides of Atlantic, run by own teams, inside own private cloud. It runs own GPU compute and produces own tokens. Its models are fine-tuned for Order-to-Cash on open-weight foundations, alongside proprietary predictive models for payment behavior, buyer risk and next best collection action.
"Billion-dollar enterprises are being asked to put their receivables data into models they do not operate, and to sign for AI agents whose running cost is set by another company's price list. Neither is question about model quality, and neither gets solved by better model," company stated.
Olivier Novasque, CEO and Founder of Sidetrade, said: "During first wave of generative AI, question every enterprise asked was which model was most powerful. Finance departments now asking different question: How do we put AI to work on one of our most sensitive processes, cash flow generation, without handing control of our customer data, operating model and intelligence to someone else? Addressing those concerns takes full stack. You have to own infrastructure, compute, models and framework agents run on."
SAFE is common foundation under Sidetrade three AI-native products: Aimie IQ, engagement and orchestration layer accessible in natural language; Aimie Agents, library of ready-to-deploy agents, starting with Aimie Cash Collection Agent; and Customer Agents, built by customers or partners in Agent Builder Studio. SAFE organized into two layers. Agent Connect handles everything surrounding agent: Agent Registry, single declarative configuration model, Event Router dispatching O2C events, and Skills Registry. Agent Harness governs agent at runtime: assembles context from O2C data, orchestrates reasoning on Sidetrade models, selects right tool among O2C actions, enforces policy with deterministic escalation, and maintains audit trails and memory.
According to McKinsey State of Organizations 2026, 88% of organizations have deployed AI, but 81% have yet to see any significant financial impact. SAFE was built to answer uncertain economics, data sovereignty concerns, and governance requirements.
Sovereignty in SAFE is not contractual promise, it is consequence of how framework works. Not every task calls for LLM. Predicting payment date or scoring risk is work of proprietary predictive models. Routing event or applying policy is deterministic code. Only tasks needing language reach O2C fine-tuned LLM. SAFE directs each task to most appropriate model, every model runs on own compute. No prompt or customer record ever sent to public model provider.
SAFE spends tokens only where they create value. Aimie IQ and agents sold on subscription, including volume of tasks and O2C IQ token equivalents, with no exposure to third-party per-million-token pricing.
SAFE already in production under Aimie Cash Collection Agent, deployed with multinationals including Securitas, Accor and Sodexo. Will underpin production rollout of Aimie IQ and Agent Builder Studio to beta customers in Q4 2026.
