Evaneos History

Main Challenges for the Accounting and Treasury Team

1. Cash and Liquidity Management

Ensuring the company always has sufficient liquidity across all bank accounts, while also seizing short, medium, and long-term investment opportunities.

2. Optimized Cash Reporting

Achieving real-time visualization of cash flows to facilitate analyses, decision-making, and recurring reports and forecasts.

What were the challenges faced by the finance teams before Payflows?

1. A manual and slow reporting process

Before Payflows, cash reporting was done in Excel with manual data collection, which was time-consuming (about 4 days per month) and prone to errors. Today, it’s simple and automated.

2. Lack of real-time visibility on positions

Before Payflows, cash was tracked on a monthly basis. Now, teams have real-time access to the positions of all their accounts and can track cash inflows and outflows by type.

3. Complex connection to payment platforms

Previously, we had to connect to each bank to manage internal cash transfers, but now it's automatic and centralized within Payflows. For external payments, everything can also be done from this same interface.

How does Payflows help Evaneos concretely?

"In summary, by integrating Payflows into our financial processes, we've gained in efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness, improving strategic decision-making."

  • Daily Cash Management: Using dashboards to monitor daily cash flows and liquidity positions across all their accounts via a single platform.

  • Preparation of Periodic Reports: Simplifying the preparation of weekly, monthly, and quarterly cash reports with improved classification of cash flows (e.g., receipts and disbursements), saving more than 4 days per month.

  • Cash Optimization: With Payflows consolidating all their bank accounts (over 50 accounts), the finance teams can make very short-term investments that enhance the daily returns on excess cash.

  • Data Integration: Payflows stands out for its ability to easily integrate all of Evaneos’ financial data, centralizing all information in one place. It was the only tool that could integrate data from the 50 active bank accounts, especially those opened with Kantox.

  • Automation of Flow Assignments: The tool allows for very simple and automatic categorization of flows—enabling the teams to work more efficiently.

  • 5-Star Customer Support: The implementation of Payflows was very simple and smooth. "The entire Payflows team supported me and continues to do so. Their availability, efficiency, and friendliness were key factors in the success of this project. A big thank you to them!"
