Case Study

To create more value on a daily basis and to eliminate manual tasks, the finance department at Jewson has automated its reconciliation process using the Adra™ Suite of Solutions from Trintech.
Why Adra® by Trintech?
Despite already implementing a reconciliation tool, Jewson felt that their current solution was not flexible enough to handle the complex requirements for data matching, with a significant amount of time being spent manually reconciling their transactions. “We have been using a simple reconciliation tool to handle our large volume of transactions but after investigating the market, we felt we could get extra support and further cost savings with Adra’s transaction matching solution,” said Janet Knight, Chief Cashier at Jewson.
Jewson knew they needed to take control of their cash management and financial accounts in order to increase financial control and reduce operational risk. In addition, they were looking to implement a solution that increased the speed of their reconciliation process and exception identification, improved the accuracy of their reconciliations and provided financial control enhancements to the business.
