Case Study: Forto achieves faster treasury control and cash visibility with Atlar

Forto runs treasury across two continents in 15 minutes a day with Atlar

Forto, a Berlin-based tech-enabled freight forwarder, faced significant challenges in managing its global treasury operations. As the company grew across Europe and Asia, its finance team relied on manual processes in Google Sheets to piece together cash positions from multiple banks, a time-consuming and error-prone task. They needed a modern treasury solution that could integrate natively with their Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP system to gain control and visibility.

By implementing Atlar's cash management and payments platform, Forto connected six banks and 14 entities into a single system. The solution automated payments and reconciliation directly from their ERP and provided a real-time group cash position in just 15 minutes daily. The results for Forto were substantial: Atlar's cost was covered several times over annually by enabling them to pool idle cash into interest-bearing accounts. Furthermore, the company absorbed expansion across two continents without adding any headcount to the finance team.
