Case study

How did the Fnac Darty group merge its two treasury functions into a single TMS?

"The TMS is now central to the collaboration of our teams, who have collectively re-evaluated the processes and committed to a large-scale project. The buy-in is complete, and the project led with Diapason is unifying"

The context of the project with Fnac Darty

The global health crisis has made optimal cash management for the group vital, both in real-time and in forecasting. Emphasis is also placed on the need for a detailed analytical view of cash positions to ensure overall performance.

Fnac Darty has decided to create a new Finance and Treasury Department (DFT) with the objective of better understanding, controlling, and forecasting cash. The DFT aims to prioritize the gradual deployment of a Treasury Management System (TMS) and to support teams through a smooth change process, despite significant complexities involved in the project:

  • a heterogeneous environment with two accounting ERPs, two chart of accounts, different processes, and separate teams that are not used to working together

  • many interfaces to develop

  • a need to align accounting processes (bank reconciliations, allocation of interest rate calculations in current accounts, etc.)

  • human barriers related to change management

The solution provided by myDiapason

Fnac Darty selected the myDiapason Treasury Management System (TMS) to meet the business needs of the group and its subsidiaries. Hosting the data on a European cloud was imperative to address the group’s localization and confidentiality requirements.

The Fnac Darty teams were supported throughout the project. The different stages were validated quickly, while promoting tool adoption and managing the change process effectively.

"We were impressed by the support and expertise of the project team. They are craftsmen with a deep understanding of our industry and an truly impressive ability to listen to clients. In our pursuit of the impossible, the Diapason teams never said no and always found the right solution."

The project enabled Fnac Darty to merge its finance and harmonize the management of its treasury across its various brands, along with many other successes such as:

  • A centralized and automated management of financial flows. By eliminating manual actions, with an evolving solution to meet new needs.

  • Enhanced security. With end-to-end encrypted processes.

"Our profession is undergoing profound transformation. As value creators, our enhanced treasurers have now become key players in performance and cash management, at the heart of financial challenges and corporate strategy."
