Case Study: Sandvik achieves faster month-end closes and 100% audit readiness with Aico Journal Entries

How Sandvik transformed journal entry process with Aico

Sandvik was struggling to complete month-end closes on time and to meet strict internal control and audit requirements while using an aging S21 ERP and a highly manual journal entry process. To replace the ERP interface and introduce a modern journal management capability, Sandvik engaged Aico and adopted the Aico Journal Entries module with real‑time integration to Microsoft D365.

Aico implemented the Journal Entries solution hosted in Sandvik’s Azure environment, delivering real‑time connectivity to D365, automation, configurable approval workflows, audit trails and a live dashboard. The integration returns a general ledger document number in under 10 seconds and can validate a 50‑row journal in seconds, eliminated approval bottlenecks by enabling business users to create and post journals, and centralized supporting documentation—resulting in faster month‑end closes, 100% audit readiness and noticeably improved control effectiveness (measured quarterly).
