Client Challenges

The client faced several finance management challenges:

  • Manual spreadsheets caused frequent errors and version conflicts across finance tasks.
  • Month-end closing took 10–15 days, delaying key decisions.
  • No unified view of cash flow, receivables, or payables across branches.
  • Poor audit readiness — scattered documents and untracked approvals.
  • 60–70% of finance time spent on data collection, not analysis.
  • No alerts for budget overruns, late payments, or financial anomalies.

Wisecor Solution

Process Diagnostic & Redesign Audited existing workflows, identified redundant steps and control gaps, and built a leaner, automation-first process map.

Integrated Financial Platform Deployed a cloud-based FMS covering AP, AR, general ledger, budgeting, and compliance — integrated with the client’s ERP via API.

Intelligent Automation Automated bank reconciliation, invoice matching, and journal entries — freeing the finance team for analysis over data entry.
