The Context of the Project with Andros

The group wanted to centralize treasury management globally within its holding company, Andros & Cie, through an integrated and secure Payment Factory. Among its main objectives:

  • Implementing international Cash Pooling through virtual accounts for around ten currencies

  • Managing hedging (interest rates, currency, commodities) and investments

  • Implementing SWIFT connectivity for better communication with banks

  • Managing forecasts to feed a short- and medium-term treasury budget while managing market risks

  • Improving reporting capabilities

  • Ensuring the tool complies with internal security policies, including hosting data on a European Cloud, ISO 27001 certification, and GDPR regulations

  • Limiting fraud risks

Until then, Andros had used multiple ERPs and a TMS limited to the needs of subsidiaries located in France.

The Solution Provided by myDiapason

Andros selected the myDiapason TMS (Treasury Management System) following a call for tenders. The reputation of myDiapason and its connectivity capabilities with tools such as Datascope for market data, FXall for the trading platform, and Sis ID for fraud prevention made a significant difference.

The deployment was carried out in two phases, first for France, followed by an extension to Europe and then to other continents:

  • The first phase involved payment, financing, and fraud-related topics

  • The second phase focused on risk management, budgeting, and investments.

The project was ambitious, with numerous and diverse topics: risk management, creation of a payment hub, accounting management, integration of banking powers, and integration of statements in CAMT and MT formats, all in a highly regulated market.

The Diapason teams successfully connected various stakeholders (IT, accounting, subsidiaries, treasury, finance, etc.) to facilitate change management and implement new business processes, making it easier to adopt the tool.

“The Diapason project is a human adventure and a revolution for the Andros group, marking the transition from decentralized to centralized treasury.”

The Results for the Andros Group

The myDiapason solution enabled Andros to optimize the overall management of its treasury, achieving numerous successes, including:

  • Ultra-fast deployment of the TMS. In just a year and a half across a large part of Europe.

  • A fourfold reduction in the number of bank accounts, along with a simplification of their structure.

  • A global reduction in transaction costs, notably due to the standardization of processes.

  • A 360-degree view to aid decision-making, leading to better daily treasury management with structural financial indicators and enhanced risk exposure identification.

  • Increased administrative productivity. By reducing manual tasks with an incoming and outgoing interface with accounting ERPs, alongside digitization and simplification of processes. Today, only four people perform the work that previously required ten in France.

  • Strengthened security, with automation and standardization of accounting entries to reduce input error risks.
