Case Study: Crown Holdings achieves faster, more accurate balance sheet reconciliations with Trintech's Adra Balancer

Increasing the Efficiency and Accuracy across the Balance Sheet Reconciliation Process

Crown UK Shared Service Centre, part of global manufacturer Crown Holdings, faced a highly manual, paper-based balance sheet reconciliation process that lacked standardization and visibility — a problem made urgent by Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and time-consuming remote approval steps (staff sometimes drove 120 miles to obtain signatures). Repetitive reconciliations and limited control across locations further increased cost and risk.

Crown implemented Adra Balancer, a cloud-based, paperless solution that enabled remote review, real-time dashboards and automated handling of zero/unchanged balances. The quick rollout (with no IT involvement) delivered immediate visibility, reduced travel, time and cost, allowed staff to focus on higher-value accounts, and was subsequently expanded across European and regional business units.
