Intro
At TreasuryONE, we understand that accurate and reliable cash flow forecasting is fundamental to sound financial decision-making. For too long, Excel has been the mainstay for treasury teams, but its limitations have become glaring in today’s fast-paced, data-driven financial environment.
That’s why TreasuryONE has introduced an advanced, AI-powered forecasting service using industry-leading technology, CashAnalytics, to revolutionise how businesses manage their cash visibility, liquidity planning, and forecasting accuracy.

Why Excel is No Longer Enough
Scalability and Data Handling
Excel struggles to manage the ever-growing datasets that modern treasury teams must process. Performance slows, errors creep in, and reliability diminishes. Our solution handles large data volumes effortlessly, providing swift and scalable forecasting regardless of complexity.
Manual Input Risks
Manual data entry in Excel is time-consuming and error-prone. TreasuryONE’s forecasting service eliminates this risk by automating data ingestion and processing, ensuring consistent accuracy and freeing up your team to focus on strategic interpretation instead of administrative burden.
Version Control and Collaboration
Multiple Excel versions floating between teams cause confusion and inefficiencies. Our centralised platform offers real-time collaboration and ensures that everyone works from a single source of truth — improving clarity, speed, and strategic alignment.
Limited Analytical Capability
Excel’s analytics pale in comparison to what AI can offer. TreasuryONE leverages the predictive power of CashAnalytics to provide insights that go beyond surface-level trends, uncovering deep patterns that drive better business decisions.
The TreasuryONE Forecasting Service: Powered by AI and CashAnalytics
Predictive Power That Learns and Adapts
Our forecasting service uses machine learning to continually improve its accuracy. It identifies relationships in your financial data that traditional tools would overlook — producing forecasts that evolve and become more precise over time.
Integrated, Real-Time Data
TreasuryONE ensures full integration with your banking, ERP, and financial systems, meaning your forecasts are always based on real-time data. Say goodbye to batch processes and outdated inputs.
Automated and Insight-Rich
Through end-to-end automation, the platform reduces manual intervention while delivering dashboards and insights instantly. Scenario analysis and real-time stress testing allow your finance team to simulate, plan, and respond with confidence.
Secure by Design
Our service is underpinned by robust security features, including encryption and access controls, which far surpass the protection offered by spreadsheets. Your sensitive financial data is safe with us.
Real-World Impact: A TreasuryONE Client Success Story
A leading management consultancy approached TreasuryONE to address its fragmented forecasting processes. Through our deployment of CashAnalytics, the following outcomes were achieved:
✔ Improved Forecast Accuracy
Our AI-powered platform reduced forecast variance significantly, helping the client establish reliable cash predictions for strategic planning.
✔ Operational Efficiency
By automating data collection and categorisation, TreasuryONE eliminated manual efforts, boosting efficiency and reallocating resources to higher-value tasks.
✔ Enhanced Strategic Insight
Real-time scenario modelling gave the client the agility to navigate volatile market conditions and optimise financial strategies proactively.
✔ Better Collaboration
The central platform improved cross-functional alignment by giving all stakeholders access to consistent, current data and reports.
“What I like most about the dedicated Forecasting tool is the flexibility and speed of generating different types of reports from the same data. It’s very easy to turn things on and off and cut the data in very different ways that Excel can certainly not do.”
