During a period of rapid organizational growth and change, Lyse AS faced a growing need to standardize and automate its reconciliation and documentation processes. As a large organization with an extensive internal accounting function, fragmented workflows and inconsistent methodologies were common challenges. Similar processes were often handle differently across teams — costing unnecessary time and resources.

At the same time, the team was working to strengthen collaboration, both internally as well as with external auditors. “We needed to agree on a shared solution to become more flexible, simplify our work, and free up time,” explains Jørgen Simonsen, Head of Group Accounting at Lyse. As workload in the accounting department grew, automating time-consuming tasks became increasingly important.

Why Trintech?

While searching for an automation solution, Lyse spoke with several providers and drew on experience from within its own finance function. The goal was twofold: find a tool that could automate and record processes, while simplifying reconciliation and documentation work. A key driver was the organization’s broader vision of using technology to position the company for continued growth.

In the end, Lyse chose Trintech’s Adra Suite. The decision was driven by positive internal experience and the solution’s ability to meet the group’s needs with an integrated, user-friendly, and efficient platform.

Teamwork Throughout the Process

Implementation took place in close collaboration with the Trintech team. From the very beginning, Lyse had a dedicated consultant who understood the company’s requirements and workflows in depth: “Trintech was a patient and reliable partner throughout the entire process. We received support in continuing to develop our integrations and solutions.” Trintech’s experience and the sharing of best practices from other customer projects ensured a smooth transition and quick, early wins.

How Trintech is Changing Everyday Work

Lyse has now been using Trintech’s Adra Balancer and Adra Matcher solutions for just over a year. Around 30 accounting employees, along with accounting leadership, the group accounting team, and external auditors, actively work with the solutions. Adra Balancer is used for reconciling and documenting all balance sheet accounts while Adra Matcher automates transaction matching and the reconciliation of intercompany items. Full integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 ensures a seamless, uninterrupted flow of data.

More Time, Better Collaboration, Clearer Processes

Introducing automation from Trintech has delivered concrete results for Lyse:

• Efficient communication with auditors: Documentation is easily accessible at all times and fully traceable.
• Better collaboration: Consistent processes make reconciliation easier both horizontally and vertically
  across the organization.
• Flexibility and transparency: Both the accounting team and management now have significantly greater visibility into status and documentation. This improves control, supports prioritization, and makes tracking reconciliation processes more efficient: “We no longer waste time hunting for discrepancies — the answer is already there.”

The team is also experiencing a more even workload, and the benefits of automation continue to grow over time.

Further Integration and Optimization

Lyse is looking clearly ahead and plans to expand its use of Trintech further. This includes deeper integration with third-party systems, broader use of Adra Matcher for additional reconciliation types, and structured, efficient workflows across multiple departments using Adra Task Manager.

When asked what advice he would give to organizations considering implementing automation from Trintech, Simonsen said, “Take the time to really understand what the solution can do, and set clear expectations for your users. That’s how you get the most out of your investment.”

An Investment That Pays Off

For Lyse, the investment in automation paid off quickly. Time savings, leaner processes, and greater operational flexibility have strengthened the accounting department’s capacity and better positioned the company for continued growth and development.

In an industry where time is scarce, every step that reduces unnecessary effort is worth taking. Many team members were initially surprised at how efficiently tasks can be handled with Trintech.
