The challenge
The Challenge
After implementing FIS Integrity as their treasury management platform, Accelleron's treasury team recognised opportunities to enhance their reporting processes. Thomas Widmer, Head of Treasury at Accelleron, and his team identified the need for more advanced reporting capabilities than what the platform's standard functionality provided.
Accelleron's primary challenge centred on liquidity planning and visibility. In FIS Integrity, the treasury team had a cumbersome process to get an overview of their liquidity position. To see their liquidity data, they had to run multiple separate reports within the environment, and even then, the results were not optimal for their needs.
This manual, multi-step process created operational inefficiencies. Whenever the team made changes in the platform, they had to re-run all reports to get updated consolidated views, making the task both time-consuming and laborious.
For Accelleron, it was important to find a solution that would allow business users to build and maintain reports themselves, providing greater autonomy and flexibility for their specific reporting needs.
The Solution
Accelleron chose SkySparc's OmniFi platform to enhance their FIS Integrity reporting capabilities and automate the generation and distribution of business-critical treasury reports. The cloud-based SaaS solution, hosted entirely by SkySparc, required no additional infrastructure investment from Accelleron.
OmniFi's low-code architecture enables business users to combine multiple FIS Integrity data sets without requiring SQL knowledge. Where Integrity's database-driven analysis demands technical expertise, the platform provides intuitive operators and modifiers for data consolidation and transformation.
Particularly valuable is OmniFi's time series reporting functionality. Unlike FIS Integrity's standard output, which provides snapshot data for specific dates, OmniFi enables Accelleron to view data over time, enabling liquidity and valuation trend analysis across multiple periods. This historical analysis capability extends beyond Integrity's native functions.
Seamless integration with Excel and other common Business Intelligence (BI) solutions automatically populates familiar spreadsheet formats with data from Integrity, enabling the creation of professional reports with charts, graphs and visual elements.
Implementation & Execution
SkySparc began by addressing Accelleron's most pressing challenge: liquidity reporting. The implementation team worked with Accelleron to automate their liquidity reports, consolidating multiple FIS Integrity reports into a single, comprehensive view.
Following successful automation of liquidity reporting, Accelleron expanded their use of OmniFi to include additional report types: accounting reports, exposure management reports, and cash flow position reports. The platform's flexibility allowed the treasury team to build these additional reports with minimal technical support.
The project included automated daily report distribution to senior management, including the CFO, ensuring consistent and timely financial visibility across the organisation.
The Outcome
This implementation delivered significant operational improvements and cost savings for Accelleron. By automating report generation and eliminating manual data compilation, the treasury team achieved substantial time savings compared to their previous multi-step manual processes.
From a cost perspective, the approach provided exceptional value. Compared to alternative approaches for custom reporting solutions, Accelleron now maintains their enhanced reporting capabilities with minimal ongoing support—typically just a few hours of technical assistance every other month.
Results speak volumes. The time series reporting capability revealed previously hidden insights into trends and patterns, enabling better risk oversight and smarter liquidity decisions.
Most importantly, the solution empowers Accelleron's business users to create and modify reports independently with complete autonomy and no external dependencies.
Advanced Cash Forecasting
In a second phase, Accelleron has further leveraged OmniFi's flexibility by connecting it to their SAP ERP solution. This integration enables comprehensive cash forecasting reports that combine data from both their treasury management platform and ERP environments, demonstrating OmniFi's capability to consolidate data from multiple sources across their technology landscape.
As Thomas Widmer noted: "As a newly independent company, it is important for us to have a high degree of visibility over our treasury activities and data. SkySparc's expertise and solutions make them the ideal partner on this critical strategic task."
