Treasury teams have streamlined cash pooling and now close complex intercompany books faster
Since Kyriba is more of a bolt-on, I suggest that more adapters are developed with ERP solutions, specifically S/4, as my idea for improvement. In cases of integration, the adapters were available, but the data sets had to be realigned. The structures in which SAP S/4 operates and the structures in Kyriba had to be mapped. If those can be developed out of the box, it would certainly smoothen the overall implementation experience. Additionally, moving open AR/AP positions from SAP S/4 to Kyriba is done as a batch load, meaning on request. If those interfaces are developed in real-time, so that real-time positions are always moved over to Kyriba, it would enhance the process even further because then the analysis is not contingent upon an on-demand pull request; it happens live. Tighter integration, and tighter real-time integration with the ERP ledgers, could help enhance the capabilities further. Tighter integration certainly is the core area for improvement with Kyriba. In addition to that, I would say that the adoption of AI could be another enhancement in the UI. The context I would suggest for its implementation is within the analysis of discrepancies. Obviously, not everything reconciles perfectly anytime cash pooling is done, so identifying postings where the match cannot be performed, leading to necessary settlements, would be good areas for Kyriba to develop further capabilities.

I am satisfied with analytics and reporting to a certain level, but not completely. There are so many SAP providers and customer solutions to include manual warning reports. SAP S/4HANA also will not provide the detailed reports as users expect, but the system provides the ability to implement new reports. It does not reach that level completely. Around fifty to sixty percent of the system will solve business needs, but not entirely. In the reports area, especially in the customer reports area, there is a lot of room for improvement. It would be better to improve and also meet local requirements and localization. That needs to be addressed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Kyriba offers the best TMS on the market for cash liquidity, cash forecasting, net debt, and GL reconciliation."
"But once you start using it, it is one of the best treasury products I have come across in my career."
"Kyriba offers excellent features, including its user-friendly UI as a payment provider."
"My advice to others looking into using Kyriba is that it is a great product and very cost-effective, especially compared to other competitors in the market, and I have been very happy with Kyriba over the past nine years."
"The ability to do transfers directly from Kyriba has saved time and reduced the effort of taking approvals from an external party, creating a memo, creating the template in Citibank or any other bank, and obtaining additional levels of approval, since in Kyriba, I can create the payment and only one person can approve it."
"Kyriba is the best software available, and I have seen a return on investment where the initial yearly fee is superseded by the transaction fees and tax savings we have on bulk transactions and cross-border connectivity, making it a very profitable proposition when pricing is done correctly and implemented on a large level."
"For month-end close activities, there is at least a 25 percent and upwards reduction in the time it takes to close the books, which certainly translates into money saved and fewer resources needed."
"Treasury managers have better visibility to their idle cash, and a glance overview of all accounts at one place is available without logging into each bank portal, which definitely provides better visibility and hence better use of the idle cash."
"We cannot run our business without this software."
"The implementation of SAP S_4HANA Finance has helped our operations by reducing manpower considerably."
"The biggest benefit of SAP S/4HANA Finance is the stability of the solution, which brings the knowledge from SAP ECC systems."
"SAP S/4HANA Finance definitely helps the business get real-time data instead of having a scheduled job chart with time lag in data."
 

Cons

"Tighter integration certainly is the core area for improvement with Kyriba."
"I chose a seven because of the interface and the support services we have with Kyriba, as sometimes payments get stuck during production or working hours, resulting in delays for vendors."
"There are a bit of glitches sometimes."
"Kyriba could improve their support, as the production support may sometimes be a bit delayed."
"The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive, as the licenses are quite expensive."
"Kyriba could be improved in the areas of connecting with multiple banks and managing various statuses."
"Something I would like to see improved in Kyriba is that on the reconciliation side, we do get payments where someone might send us a ten thousand dollar payment and then want that split into forty-five different entries."
"Money-wise, I think it takes two to three years to generate the full ROI on that investment, given the initial setup of implementation is a bit higher."
"I definitely see room for improvement in SAP S_4HANA Finance for the future, as our client is looking for enhancements."
"My experience with technical support from SAP is not that great."
"Implementation can be complex in SAP S/4HANA Finance, depending on the company and its requirements."
"However, I do not have enough knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Finance to suggest improvements in such a substantial software system."
