Case Study: Swissgrid achieves automated, secure straight-through payments with TIS (Treasury Intelligence Solutions)

Swissgrid - Customer Case Study

Swissgrid, the national grid company in Switzerland with about 400 employees and SAP ERP deployed across seven sites, faced fragmented, historically grown payment processes across roughly 50 bank accounts. The lack of a multi‑bank solution, high maintenance costs, limited Treasury/IT know‑how on numerous connections, manual procedures and strict security/compliance requirements drove the search for a new provider. Swissgrid selected TIS (Treasury Intelligence Solutions) and its cloud‑based Enterprise Payment Optimization Platform to meet Swiss payment formats, SEPA readiness and seamless SAP/ERP integration.

TIS implemented its Enterprise Payment Optimization Platform to automate and standardize all payment flows, fully integrate SAP with the banks, handle format conversions and deliver electronic account statements. The result was complete Straight‑Through‑Processing (STP) for all payments, elimination of communication disruptions and manual error risk, real‑time status visibility, improved transparency/traceability/compliance, and lower maintenance effort. Swissgrid now benefits from faster SaaS deployment, ongoing adaptation to Swiss/SEPA requirements and a future‑proof payments standard provided by TIS.
