The challenge
Transforming treasury operations for unmatched efficiency
In 2013, Anneli Walltott, deputy group treasurer at Sandvik Treasury AB, set out an ambitious goal for her team. The team was centralized, but local subsidiaries ran separate systems and managed payments via a range of interfaces and banking relationships. The treasury team needed to transform the disparate processes into highly automated, digitized and efficient payment and treasury systems that would be second to none among its peers.
“We wanted to create a treasury operation that would put us ahead – not just the company, but the treasury group as well,” she said.
Given the company’s complex structure, the project would be a multiyear effort implemented in stages. The team decided to manage the transformation in-house without the use of third-party consultants.
One centralized view for all payment workflows
Centralizing and standardizing the company’s global payments in a unified payment solution was the first priority. The Sandvik treasury team chose FIS® Payments Hub – Enterprise Edition.
A real-time snapshot of global risk and liquidity positions
As Sandvik continued its growth strategy, the treasury team increasingly needed more sophisticated functionality. Sandvik selected FIS Treasury and Risk Manager – Quantum Edition.
The results
From disparate processes to superior payment and treasury systems
The treasury team transformed disparate processes into highly automated, digitized and efficient payment and treasury systems that are second to none among its peers.
