Case Study: Archroma achieves single-platform, SAP-integrated payment processing and measurable cost reductions with TIS (Treasury Intelligence Solutions)

Archroma - Customer Case Study

Archroma, a Swiss chemicals company spun out in 2013 with CHF 1.3 billion in revenue and ~3,000 employees across 35 countries, faced a complex, insecure and time‑consuming payments landscape: 15 different eBanking tools connecting hundreds of bank accounts, payment rejections that didn’t feed back into SAP, and heavy back‑office burdens. To centralize payments and enable straight‑through processing from SAP, Archroma selected Reval for treasury management and TIS (Treasury Intelligence Solutions) — specifically the TIS Enterprise Payment Optimization Platform / Bank Transaction Manager — as its payments vendor.

TIS implemented a web‑based single‑channel payments platform integrated with Reval and SAP, supported by PAN Consulting for implementation. As a result, Archroma moved European payments almost entirely onto the TIS platform, consolidated management of roughly 175–220 accounts, eliminated multiple bank tokens and 15 eBanking tools, and achieved measurable cost reductions in IT maintenance, operations, administration and bank fees. TIS delivered faster ROI, improved back‑office efficiency, daily liquidity visibility and lower error rates through automated, workflow‑based straight‑through processing.
