Top Challenges

  • Time-Consuming Manual Forecasting: The treasury team spent 80 hours every month manually tagging inflows and outflows in spreadsheets to create its cash forecasts.
  • Inefficient Daily Cash Positioning: Analysts spent over two hours each day manually logging into five different bank portals and consolidating reports just to build the daily cash position.
  • Lack of Standardization and Visibility: The treasury process lacked a standard methodology and real-time visibility, with financial data fragmented across portals and various spreadsheets.
  • Inability to Perform Strategic Analysis: The heavy manual workload left the team with no capacity for crucial strategic tasks like scenario planning or simulating investment and fundings.
  • Reactive Decision-Making and Financial Risk: Operating in a constant “catch-up mode” led to missed opportunities to reduce loan exposure and resulted in higher borrowing costs in a high-interest-rate environment.
