Case Study: Ahold Delhaize achieves automation and faster financial close with Trintech

Ahold Delhaize’s Journey to Automation and Efficiency with Trintech

Ahold Delhaize, a global grocery retailer formed from the 2016 merger of Ahold and Delhaize, faced time-consuming, paper-based financial close and reconciliation processes that made tracking, auditability, and standardization difficult and inefficient. Manual signatures, physical backups and disconnected workflows created delays, high labor costs and limited visibility into reconciliation status.

The company implemented Cadency by Trintech to centralize and automate reconciliations with timestamped workflows, digital sign-offs and unified reporting. The change reduced labor and supply costs, improved audit efficiency and time-to-close, provided more reliable data for decision-making, and established an ongoing partnership to expand automation across the finance function.
