Case Study: Ahold Delhaize achieves greater visibility, control and cost savings with Trintech's Cadency Certification

Ahold Delhaize has greater visibility and control over their business processes with Trintech’s solutions

Ahold Delhaize, a global food retail leader, faced a fragmented month‑end close where hundreds of independently maintained Excel spreadsheets were used to reconcile about 331 general ledger accounts each month. The process was time‑consuming, lacked visibility into task completion, supporting documentation and issues, and prompted a reorganization to strengthen horizontal (process‑level) and vertical (company‑level) controls and to standardize and automate seven key operational accounting processes.

The company implemented Trintech’s Cadency Certification to centralize reconciliations, automate workflows and email reminders, and assign clear ownership for reconcilers and reviewers. The solution delivered daily visibility into closing tasks, reduced manual effort, improved consistency and data quality across GAAP/IFRS reporting, and generated savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
