WIP - Treasury Cash Management & Forecasting

Keboola isn’t a full TMS replacement – rather, it’s a data integration and analytics layer that can augment or feed a TMS. If you have a TMS, Keboola can consolidate data from the TMS, ERP, and other sources to give a more holistic view (including forecasts or non-financial drivers that TMS might not handle). If you don’t have a TMS, Keboola can provide many key functionalities (cash visibility, forecasting, basic transaction tracking) by leveraging your existing data. Essentially, it bridges gaps by unifying data and providing analytical capabilities, often at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated TMS.

That’s configurable. Some companies update balances once a day (which is sufficient for many), typically by pulling prior day closing balances from banks. Others with critical intraday needs can update multiple times per day or even in real-time via API connections to banks. Keboola can handle batch and streaming data. The cadence can be tailored: high-level summaries perhaps hourly and detailed transaction logs daily, depending on your needs and data availability.

Yes. You can set up multiple forecast scenarios in Keboola. For instance, a base case might use your current sales forecast, while a worst case might assume a certain percentage of customers pay late or a dip in sales. The platform can run these scenarios in parallel, so you’d see, say, cash ending balance under each scenario. It’s easy to adjust assumptions (like changing a growth rate, or timing of a large CapEx) and instantly see the impact on cash in those scenarios. This helps in contingency planning – essentially bringing FP&A scenario techniques into cash management.
