Transforming Bank Reconciliation Processes with Cashbook
Every business must make sure the transactions in its financial statements match what’s happening in its bank accounts. On paper, that sounds simple. In practice, finance teams spend days – sometimes weeks – each month comparing statements line by line, chasing down mismatches, and hoping nothing slips through. Cashbook builds software to take that work off their plates.
Key Takeaways:
- Manual reconciliation doesn’t scale. With a growing number of transaction volume, so does the time it eats and the errors it produces.
- Cashbook connects to ERP systems, reads statements in whatever format banks send them, and matches transactions automatically.
- It gives finance teams real-time cash visibility, structured exception handling, and audit trails.
- Cashbook builds industry-specific configurations for many sectors, including manufacturing, retail, food & beverage – all backed by implementation and support.
Why Manual Reconciliation Breaks Down
Comparing your books to the bank sounds like a checklist item. It isn’t, once you’re dealing with hundreds or thousands of transactions across multiple accounts.
- It eats time. Matching entries by hand can take a finance team days or weeks each month — time that could go toward analysis or planning instead.
- It’s error prone. Manual entry and manual comparison both introduce mistakes, and those mistakes work their way into financial reports and compliance filings.
- It doesn’t scale. Growth means more transactions, and more transactions usually means hiring more people just to keep reconciliation running – cost without much upside.
- It slows reporting. Month-end and quarter-end close gets pushed back when reconciliation is still manual. This is a real problem for teams that need to move fast.
Built for Different Industries
Cashbook has spent over 25 years building cash automation software, and it shows in how the product handles the details finance teams run into.
- ERP integration. Cashbook connects to 10 different ERP systems, with new ERPs being added every year. Cashbook has particularly deep support for Infor products. Supported ERPs include XA/MAPICS, BPCS/LX, TIMS, JD Edwards, and M3. That means it pulls data straight from your existing system instead of requiring someone to re-key it.
- Automated matching. The software compares bank transactions against your accounting records and flags only the genuine discrepancies for a person to look at -most of the matching happens without anyone touching it.
- Multiple statement formats. Banks don’t all send statements the same way. Cashbook reads Excel files, EDI files, PDFs, and direct bank feeds, so you’re not manually reformatting data before it can even be processed.
What Clients Say
Makita cut the time it spends on cash management by about 45% after adopting Cashbook, which automated their bank reconciliation process end to end by linking their ERP directly to their banking data.
The finance team for Camloc describes a smooth rollout: they use receipts, payments, global payments, and statement upload and reconciliation, and found the go-live had minimal disruption to daily processing. They singled out global payments as especially useful for reconciliation and statement uploads.
Beyond Reconciliation
Matching transactions is the starting point, not the whole product.
- Cash visibility. Because reconciliation happens automatically, finance teams can see their cash position across accounts and currencies without waiting for someone to finish a manual close.
- Exception handling. When something doesn’t match, Cashbook routes it into a clear workflow for investigation instead of letting it sit in a spreadsheet somewhere.
- Audit trails. Every action is timestamped and tied to a user, which matters when auditors (internal or external) come asking.
Built for Different Industries
Manufacturing companies deal with high transaction volumes, multiple currencies, and supply chain payments. Cashbook’s automation gives them the cash visibility they need for production and inventory planning, and it pairs with accounts payable automation for vendor payments.
Food and beverage businesses handle a lot of small transactions and seasonal swings in cash flow, on top of tight regulatory requirements. Automated reconciliation keeps the numbers accurate while deductions management helps with trade promotion reconciliation specifically.
Automotive companies running global operations need to handle multi-currency transactions and complex supplier relationships. Cashbook’s multi-location tools give them a consistent way to manage cash across markets.
Retailers deal with high volume and a mix of payment methods, plus seasonal patterns – automated reconciliation, combined with collections management, covers more of the cash cycle than reconciliation alone would.
Implementation and Support Excellence
Implementations are configured around how a business already works, not the other way around. Cashbook trains finance teams on both the basics and the more advanced features and stays involved after go-live. Client relationships with the company often run for years, shaped by ongoing feedback.
If manual reconciliation is still costing your team days each month, Cashbook’s automation is worth a look. Contact us to see what it would take to get set up.
