When Spreadsheets Can't Keep Up With Your Cash

Treasury teams spend enormous time manually collecting and classifying cash flow data from banks, ERPs, and business units across the organization. Relying on Excel-based tools and manual models creates persistent risk: broken macros, outdated formulas, and reporting delays that undermine confidence in the numbers. When every update requires manual intervention, finance teams are always reacting to yesterday's data rather than acting on today's.

Without a unified view of cash flow across business units, it is difficult to identify which areas of the organization are underperforming or generating surplus cash until it is too late to act. Intercompany reconciliation is time-consuming, variance analysis is a manual exercise, and the lack of reliable drill-down reporting means consolidated figures are hard to trust. As a result, decisions about liquidity, FX, and debt are made with less information than they should be.

Automated, Intelligent Cash Flow Forecasting Across the Entire Business

Ripple Treasury Cash Forecasting automates the collection and classification of cash flow data from banks, ERPs, and treasury systems, eliminating the manual work that slows traditional forecasting cycles. Highly flexible and configurable forecast models connect to any data source and support rolling forecasts for seamless day-to-day planning. Teams can be up and running in as little as 90 days, with no lengthy implementation projects.

At the core of the platform is GSmart Ledger, an AI-powered tool that learns from historical invoice and ledger data to generate intelligent short-term cash flow forecasts with exceptional speed and accuracy. GSmart Forecast Insights goes further, automatically comparing forecasts to actuals, detecting anomalies, and delivering actionable recommendations through interactive dashboards, so treasury teams can focus on the variances that matter most.
