Case Study: Unilever achieves up to 80% forecast accuracy and hundreds of thousands in cash savings with TIS (Treasury Intelligence Solutions)

How Unilever benefits from intuitive and robust cash forecasting capabilities in TIS

Unilever, a global consumer-goods leader operating 400+ brands in 190+ countries, faced fragmented, manual cash-forecasting processes across hundreds of entities, 200+ banks and thousands of accounts. To replace Excel-based workflows, reduce dependency on local teams, and gain centralized, scalable visibility without heavy IT projects, Unilever selected TIS (Treasury Intelligence Solutions) and its Cash Forecasting platform to aggregate bank and ERP data and standardize forecasting across the organization.

TIS implemented a cloud-based, connected cash-forecasting solution with flexible layered models, workflow management and near‑real‑time payment analysis, integrating quickly with Unilever’s banks and back-office systems with minimal IT involvement. As a result, forecast accuracy rose from ~50% to ~80% at a three‑month horizon (with some categories <10% variance at one month), the forecasting horizon extended from 5–6 weeks to ~13 weeks, and Unilever realized hundreds of thousands in cash savings.
