Five ways real-time data saves finance teams time and money

1. Liquidity management 

Real-time cash visibility allows treasurers to:

• Respond immediately to negative balances and optimize credit facility usage
• Identify excess cash early to improve investment yield.

No need for “just in case” cash buffers and unnecessary (or unplanned) overdrafts.

2. Time savings

A centralized source of real-time data reduces manual effort by:

• Eliminating the need to log into multiple e-banking portals throughout the day
• Giving treasury, AP, and AR teams access to the same live data in one place
• Supporting multiple use cases without repeated manual checks.

3. Working capital

Real-time access to incoming customer payments:

• Enables near-instant reconciliation
• Frees up working capital
• Helps releasing customer credit limits

Based on live intraday collections data

4. Automations

Real-time data created a solid base for new levels of automation:

• Realizing goods once payments are received
• Activating services or moving cash when transactions take place

Without human intervention or waiting for end-of-day statements to arrive. 

5. CFO visibility

Dashboards give CFOs and leadership at-a-glance insight into liquidity.

• Always up to date, without waiting for manually prepared reports
• No reliance on ad-hoc data requests
• Available on the go via mobile
