The needs
We needed a global view of our cash at group level, not company by company. In practice, we wanted to check our consolidated cash balances quickly every day.
A second need was to produce cash forecasts over various horizons, compare them with actuals and re-forecast. Finally, we wanted a payment validation solution for greater security.
The choice
We consulted several software publishers to compare the offers on the market. We chose three E-Finances modules: E-Control Communication for banking communication, E-Trésorerie for cash forecasting and E-Financements for financing management.
Our choice was driven by several reasons: accessible and intuitive solutions, a reasonable budget for high-performing solutions, and geographical proximity, which made exchanges easier.
The support
I am very satisfied with the support provided by E-Finances. We had only two contacts, which is very pleasant. The account manager was transparent at every level, and the consultant answered all our questions. We didn’t lose time on technical details because he managed the whole implementation process and also trained us on the software. Our contacts are always responsive.
E-Finances’ strengths
We are very comfortable using the E-Finances solutions; one of their strengths is accessibility. In use, they are engaging tools that take little time to master. The software is also reliable; we rarely need to contact support. Finally, and most importantly for us, they are effective and enable us to produce our cash forecasts.
In conclusion
To sum up my experience: a global view of our cash, cash forecasts over various horizons, and responsive E-Finances contacts.
“The software is also reliable; we rarely need to contact support.”
