Executive Summary
A prominent JSE-listed retailer has partnered with TreasuryONE to enhance its ERP-to-bank connectivity.
By adopting TreasuryONE’s Connectivity-as-a-Service Solution, the retail group is now able to streamline payment processes across its extensive network of banks and ERP systems.
Challenges
Connectivity: Maintaining a stable and reliable connection between the two systems can be a challenge, especially if the systems are located in different geographical locations.
Data integration: Ensuring that the data is properly integrated between the two systems can be a challenge, as different systems may use different data formats or structures.
IT Support: If the ERP system doesn’t have a built-in integration with the bank, organisations may need to rely on IT support to build a custom integration.
Solution
Recognising the need to partner with a local expert firm to manage their bank connectivity and ERP integration, TreasuryONE was selected. The TreasuryONE track record of connecting to more than 10,000 bank statements daily, their in-depth knowledge of the local and African banking payment landscape and world-class connectivity technology was considered during the selection process.
Results
TreasuryONE offers hybrid connectivity solutions that are implemented and maintained by them 24/7/365.
The solution takes care of file conversion from ERP to Bank and Bank to ERP and the API integration tool provides a seamless secure single access point to all banks.
All local payments, cross-border payments and bank statement retrieval are now automatic.
The partnership ensures that the retailer is utilising the latest solutions for bank connectivity, and in return, it reduces the strain on internal IT resources, allowing them to focus on their core business activities.urity.
