Case Study: Catawiki achieves four-day financial close and scalable growth with Workday

Catawiki - Customer Case Study

Catawiki is a curated online marketplace for items and collectibles that scaled rapidly from a 2008 startup to more than 500 employees across five European offices and 7 million monthly visitors. Rapid growth, separate HR and finance systems, fragmented data and manual processes — together with a largely remote workforce and plans for international expansion — left the company needing an agile, single source of truth for people and financial information.

Catawiki adopted Workday Financial Management and Human Capital Management, a cloud-based, mobile-accessible platform that standardized processes, consolidated data and improved control and auditability. The move delivered faster decision-making, lower operating costs, elimination of siloed systems and scalable growth — enabling the company to close in four days with the same finance team while nearly doubling in size — plus continuous innovation without costly upgrades.
