The situation
What finance needed to control
The finance system was live, but the surrounding work still crossed separate expense, approval, banking and payment platforms. A small team was acting as the integration layer during its busiest season.
Approvers were often away from desks while programmes were running. Slow or rigid steps encouraged workarounds, delayed reconciliation and weakened adoption.
What TechFarben did
Built the operating path end to end
- Connected expenses, invoice approval, banking and payment execution to the ledger.
- Designed approval routes and thresholds around how programme leaders work during the season.
- Automated bank feeds and reconciliation across multiple institutions.
- Fixed reports and recurring process faults that were driving people back to spreadsheets.
- Delivered improvements as tracked changes and stayed on Managed Run.
The result
What changed in operation
Payables now runs through one connected chain across five platforms. Data is entered once and follows the approved route to payment.
Adoption is supported by a process that is faster in daily use. The ongoing run model keeps the estate aligned as the programme cycle changes.
