Case Study: CNH Industrial achieves automated global account reconciliations and end-to-end financial visibility with BlackLine

CNH Industrial Cultivates Automated Account Reconciliation Landscape

CNH Industrial, a global capital‑goods company operating multiple SAP ERP instances and more than 63,000 employees, faced an inefficient, paper‑heavy account reconciliation process. Its homegrown system couldn’t attach supporting documentation, enforce consistent month‑end checklists, or reconcile intercompany postings across legal entities, creating visibility gaps, audit headaches, and risk to the accuracy of financial statements across thousands of accounts.

To fix this, CNH rolled out the BlackLine Financial Close Suite — starting with Account Reconciliations and later adding Task Management, Journal Entry, Variance Analysis, and Intercompany Hub — tightly integrated with SAP and using templates and import tools for fast, repeatable deployments. The centralized, automated platform sped reconciliations for more than 7,000 SAP accounts, standardized global processes, improved SOX and audit readiness, enabled an Account Reconciliation Quality program, and delivered ongoing efficiency and visibility gains.
