Meet Mack Rowclack: spreadsheet samurai, sworn defender of the data double-entry, and self-declared king of copy-paste. But Mack has a problem. The world is moving on.
Weavr research shows just 6% of finance ops pros still want payments handled manually. The other 94%? They’ve seen the future – and it looks nothing like Mack’s world of tabs, toggles and tedious reconciliations.
We made Mack the star of his own comic to mark the moment. He’s the first in our new rogue’s gallery of fading finance figures – with Cardulia Pryde and The Incredible Bulk waiting in the wings.
But behind the cape and comic panels lies a shift in SaaS
Our 2025 research reveals product teams are building payments, cards, and real-time financial flows directly into their platforms – not just to impress users, but to keep them coming back. It’s about fixing broken workflows, unlocking new revenue, and outpacing competitors in a market that’s no longer patient with clunky tools.
Here’s what the data shows:
- 92% of product leaders expect embedded payments to go live this year
- 43% say users churn when workflows fall apart
- 51% are investing in AI – but need EF to actually do something with it
Start with Mack. Stick around for the data. And keep your eyes peeled for Cardulia…
