Connect Your Ecosystem to Optimize Your Cash Management!
Optimizing cash flow management, anticipating the financing needs of the company, managing currency and interest rate risks… The treasurer must be able to make informed and strategic decisions regarding financing and cash placement while ensuring rigorous and secure management of the company’s financial flows.
To achieve this, the treasurer uses a multitude of systems and applications, but simplicity and efficiency are essential. The technical solution is readily available through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
APIs to Optimize Your Cash Management
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of protocols and rules that allow your Treasury Management System (TMS) to communicate and exchange data in a standardized manner with various software and applications you use. In other words, the API serves as a gateway between two applications, enabling the connection to a third-party service and using its functionalities within one’s own code.
