Objective

Reconcile monthly bank statements (RBS) with internal reports to identify discrepancies accurately and efficiently.

Challenges

ITCube, a global IT service provider, was tasked with RBS for a major banking client. This involved matching around 6,000 transactions monthly. Traditionally, this reconciliation was a manual, full-time job that took an entire month to complete. They faced multiple challenges:

Lack of SOP

Without a clear SOP, the RBS process was inconsistent, leading to errors and inefficiencies.

High error rate

Manual verification made error detection difficult and time-consuming, increasing the likelihood of mistakes.

Inconsistent data

Variations in how transactions were named and recorded often led to mismatches, requiring additional manual checks.

Solution

ITCube partnered with Matterway to implement an Intelligent Assistant, which automated and guided the RBS process. They built Skills focused on optimizing the workflow by:

Automating and assisting with the reconciliation of more than 6,000 monthly transactions.
Reviewing and addressing the discrepancies found in  transactions and calculating the balance of both the Bank Statement and Report.
Creating a clear and logical SOP, optimizing the current reconciliation process and eliminating unnecessary steps such as manually distinguishing between “the Payee as per Invoice” and “Merchant description”.
Outcome

Matterway's Intelligent Assistance Platform revolutionized ITCube's approach to bank statement reconciliation. ITCube achieved significant time savings, reduced errors, and optimized resource utilization.

Efficiency gains

By integrating Intelligent Assistance into the process, the need for manual comparison by multiple agents was eliminated. A single person could now handle the task effectively.

Error reduction

With a standardized SOP and automated checks, error detection and discrepancy resolution became more straightforward and reliable, reducing the risk of human error.

Resource optimization

ITCube could reallocate time and resources to more strategic activities, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Reduced handling times

The reconciliation process, which used to take around 45 hours, was reduced to just 3 minutes.

Speed of implementation

The whole RBS process for ITCube was transformed in less than two months.

With Matterway's Intelligent Assistant, ITCube transformed their reconciliation process, reducing the time and resources required while significantly improving accuracy and consistency.

“Matterway helped us turn a complex, time-consuming task into a streamlined, efficient process, enhancing our operational capabilities and allowing us to focus on more strategic initiatives. It's truly been a great success for us.”
