Case Study: Portmeirion Group UK streamlines cash management with Cashbook

A growing company seeking a single cash management solution

Portmeirion Group UK, a growing global pottery company with revenues in excess of £22 million per year, needed a single cash management solution to streamline cash application, vendor payments, and bank reconciliation across multiple locations, banks, and currencies. Before working with Cashbook, the team relied on Excel for bank reconciliation, manual cash application, paper-based remittances, and cumbersome payment processes, with limited visibility of funds across Europe.

Cashbook implemented an integrated solution for automated cash application, bank reconciliation, and global payments, including bank journals, cash journals, and flexible payment file formats for Euro and non-Euro transactions. The project delivered full ERP and banking integration, automatic email remittances, and SEPA-compliant processing, helping Portmeirion achieve over 75% bank automation and reconciliation match rates while reducing manual entry and improving control and auditability.
