Challenges

The entire operations were being managed manually before the automation process was initiated with IBSFINtech . Being manual process with limited resources at hand, it was a time-consuming activity for the organisation’s treasury team. Most of their time went in completing the transactional activities while the focus was required on the strategic decision making. Moreover, owing to the size of the treasury portfolio, it was very difficult and inefficient to manage treasury through spreadsheets. More than the management of activities, the manual activities exposed the entire function to indefinite risk, without any control over the function across the organization. All this created multitudes of other challenges for the treasury function and therefore it was decided to automate the end-to-end operations.
