Challenge
Finance teams were spending up to 5 minutes per transaction manually reconciling payments from various sources. This involved extracting data from BOA reports and LockBox PDFs, matching against PeopleSoft, and verifying payment accuracy—leading to inefficiencies and human error.
Objective
A well-established enterprise aimed to eliminate the time-consuming and error-prone manual effort in cash reconciliation. The focus was on reducing cycle time, ensuring data integrity, and improving turnaround for ACH, wire, and check payments.
