Case Study: KWS optimizes global treasury operations with BearingPoint and SAP Treasury Management System

KWS streamlines treasury across 70 countries with BearingPoint

KWS, a global leader in plant breeding and seed production, faced challenges in managing its treasury operations across 70+ countries. The company struggled with cumbersome, manual processes for reconciling financial data and harmonizing its intercompany financing. To overcome this, KWS partnered with BearingPoint to implement a centralized treasury platform.

BearingPoint implemented SAP's Treasury Management System (TMS) on the S/4HANA platform, customizing it for KWS's specific needs in payment processing, cash management, and reporting. This solution provided KWS with a single source of truth, automating key functions like Forex trading and interest calculation. As a result, BearingPoint helped KWS significantly reduce processing time and the risk of human error, while achieving greater liquidity transparency and full traceability for its financial operations.
