Carlsberg chose OpusCapita's Liquidity solution for cash flow
OpusCapita, an Itella Information company, has provided its global Liquidity solution to the Carlsberg Group.
Carlsberg is one of the leading brewery groups in the world with 41,000 employees and a turnover of some EUR 8 billion. The Carlsberg Group’s products are sold in more than 150 markets.
The OpusCapita Liquidity solution’s forecasts and best practice reports enable a streamlined process for cash flow forecasting, better control of finances and more systematic planning. Now both the Carlsberg Group’s treasury and subsidiaries across the globe use one system for forecasting and bank balance overviews. The solution is delivered, hosted and maintained by OpusCapita as a web-based SaaS (Software as a service) solution.
“For OpusCapita, this is an important milestone in the Danish market and the solution also includes connectivity to the two major banks in Denmark, Danske Bank and Nordea,” says Dan Christensen, Country Manager of OpusCapita in Denmark.
“We are pleased that our position as the benchmark in cash flow automation has also been recognized by the leading global knowledge media GTnews, who highly commended Carlsberg’s solution in connection with the 2012 Awards for Global Corporate Treasury,” says Kimmo Kauranen, Managing Director of OpusCapita.
“By introducing a structured global Liquidity solution we have been able to improve our cash forecasting and follow-up processes in an automated way and we also have a strong value proposition for our group companies since the solution enables our reporting entities to follow their own forecasts and outcome,” says Lars Cordi, Group Treasurer of Carlsberg.
