The challenge: Lack of global visibility and manual processes

While U.S. operations were closely monitored, international balances often became clear only during month-end consolidations. This created inefficiencies, delayed decision-making, and led to situations where cash-rich divisions inadvertently borrowed funds, increasing costs and reducing agility.

This lack of visibility became a pivotal issue, demanding a more streamlined and proactive treasury strategy.

The solution: Real-time connectivity and automation

To address these challenges, Bray International selected Kyriba as its treasury management solution. Initially designed to improve global cash visibility, the system has since grown into a critical tool for Bray, providing real-time financial insights and streamlining payment processes.

With Kyriba, Bray streamlined payment processes by automating straight-through processing from ERP to banks, eliminating tedious manual tasks and reducing accounting workload. Additionally, global payment data was centralized, making it easier to maintain control and ensure compliance. Kyriba’s automation tools also transformed bank reconciliation and cash accounting, enabling the team to handle dozens of accounts worldwide in a fraction of the time it previously took.

Kyriba’s value became especially clear during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when businesses everywhere had to adapt overnight to remote work and global uncertainty. As the world went into silos, Bray’s treasury team was able to seamlessly maintain real-time visibility and control over global cash positions, manage payments, and support the business from anywhere. Rather than being hindered by uncertainty, Bray leveraged Kyriba to optimize liquidity, support business needs worldwide, and emerge even stronger.

Thanks to these improvements, Bray International reduced its corporate credit facility by 35%, improved controls, and freed IT resources from ongoing payment integration projects. The treasury team now benefits from enhanced security, greater automation, and full transparency across all global operations.
