Case Study: Elis achieves global cash visibility and real-time payment approvals with Kyriba Enterprise and Kyriba Mobile

Kyriba Helps Elis Ensure Compliance and Optimized Global Cash Visibility

Elis is a Paris‑headquartered European leader in workplace hygiene and textile rental services, with €1.2 billion in revenue, 14,550 employees and 151 service centers. In 2010 the company faced the imminent end of the ETEBAC bank protocol and an unsupported financial system, exposing weak consolidated cash visibility across multiple entities and prompting a move to centralize finance and treasury processes alongside a new ERP.

Elis selected Kyriba Enterprise (SaaS) with Kyriba Mobile and SWIFT connectivity to modernize bank links, enable bank‑free cash pooling and provide global cash visibility. The rollout (completed in initial countries by end of 2012) cut treasury issue resolution from three weeks to under three hours, reduced bank fees, improved forecasting and liquidity management, and streamlined approvals via mobile—allowing managers to approve payments remotely.
