How Varsity Brands Achieved >90% Forecasting Accuracy

Varsity Brands, emerging from the consolidation of three distinct entities – BSN SPORTS, Varsity Spirit and Herff Jones – faced numerous challenges in its treasury processes. With limited cash visibility, disjointed cash flow forecasts and a patchwork of manual processes, the pressure to streamline and centralize was palpable. Recognizing these challenges, Varsity Brands selected Kyriba to redefine and optimize their treasury operations for the future.

Key Challenges

In the wake of the business consolidation, Varsity Brands grappled with a maze of treasury complexities:

  • Fragmented Cash Management: Manual and siloed approaches caused inefficient use of cash resources and liquidity.
  • Inaccurate Cash Flow Forecasts: Predicting cash flow was imprecise, leading to unreliable business projections.
  • Excess Idle Cash: Funds were left unused, missing out on potential investment opportunities and revenue streams.
  • Disparate Systems: Multiple systems led to a lack of integration, hindering a unified view of enterprise-wide cash positions.

These challenges signaled the imperative need for Varsity Brands to overhaul its treasury operations and processes.
