Siemens account reconciliation process was very decentralized amongst each of the company’s business units. Many locations relied on Excel and multiple shared directories to perform general ledger account reconciliation. Siemens wanted an efficient, automated solution that could integrate with their complex ERP environment to deliver best-in-class account reconciliation services to their various business units.
Trintech’s Record to Report solution allows Siemens to manage reconciliations across 20 different SAP instances from one location. It has helped Siemens reduce overhead by bundling projects and processes, providing its global shared services center with a cloud-based close solution which generates reports for performers, reviewers, and managers from a dashboard interface and enables rules-based scoping and dynamic risk rating of accounts and reconciliations. The solution is flexible enough to integrate with the evolving processes and technology supporting its global shared services center and offers a mobile application for managing journal entry review and approval.
