Case Study: Messer Gases achieves 30% cash flow growth with Capgemini

Messer Gases develops a new approach to collections

Messer Gases, after acquiring Linde Gases assets in Brazil, needed to improve its finance operations, starting with credit-to-cash collections. The company turned to Capgemini and the Webcollect tool to address delays in payments, blocked orders, and inefficient collections processes.

Capgemini updated Webcollect, introduced automation, redesigned collections workflows, and restructured the collections team through change management and workshops. Within three months, Messer Gases achieved a 30% increase in cash flow, a 40% reduction in past due payments, a 72% decrease in unapplied cash, and 100% portfolio penetration.
