Gain new ideas about ways to improve your treasury processes and projects from the winning case studies:

Baird set out to streamline accounting for customer transactions, but none of the available treasury management systems provided a rules engine that could effectively match transaction data from its banks against its G/L accounts. Treasury worked with IT to develop APIs that automate booking of transactions in the G/L, following principles of robotic process automation (RPA).

Microsoft wanted to improve efficiency and expand the geographic scope of its balance sheet extended payment terms (XPT) program. Departments from collections and cash applications to billing and customer service collaborated to develop both an in-house solution for origination of credit requests and a plug-in to the corporate SAP ERP system that supports servicing requirements. Within four months, the project team had developed these solutions and migrated a multibillion-dollar A/R portfolio to the new software and a new servicing provider.

Stanley Black & Decker needed to modernize and transform its treasury function. Although it was a major global corporation, its treasury consisted of decentralized and largely manual processes. The company centralized all treasury operations on a single treasury management system, automating processes wherever possible. The project improved efficiency, as well as visibility into liquidity and cash flows throughout the organization.
