Case Study: DIC Corporation achieves global cash visibility and efficiency with Kyriba Enterprise

DIC Uses the Cloud for Speed and Flexibility

DIC, a Tokyo-based global manufacturer of printing inks, pigments and resins with operations in 64 countries, needed to boost group cash efficiency and strengthen risk management as its overseas business grew. Treasury teams relied on month-end ERP reports and spreadsheets across 170+ entities, which made timely cash visibility, forecasting and centralized governance difficult and costly to solve with standalone TMS deployments.

DIC implemented Kyriba Enterprise, a cloud-based treasury platform with SWIFT connectivity to visualize roughly 80% of primary accounts, enable pooling and remove manual spreadsheet processes; planned ERP integrations will automate group cash forecasts. The phased rollout (Dec 2015–Apr 2016) delivered rapid results—faster, cheaper deployment, automated reporting, improved liquidity visibility and stronger head-office governance to support DIC’s strategic investment plan.
