Project Context with Maisons du Monde

The group aims to modernize its Finance function by optimizing cash management, focusing on:

Standardizing banking communication protocols
Centralizing payments
Automating bank reconciliations
Reporting
Managing foreign exchange operations
Increasing security levels

Previously, Maisons du Monde was constrained by a multitude of tools, processes, and intermediaries (Talentia, SAGE/XRT, SAP S/4HANA, EBICS/TS protocol, e-banking platforms, etc.). The teams were burdened with repetitive manual tasks and lacked global visibility over liquidity.

Solution Provided by myDiapason Treasury

Maisons du Monde chose the myDiapason Treasury Cloud-based SaaS Treasury Management System (TMS):

Cash Management: For liquidity management and productivity improvement
Payment Management: For automating, controlling, and validating payments
Foreign Exchange: For managing and monitoring foreign exchange risk

The tool’s flexibility and ease of use, along with Diapason experts’ support throughout the project, addressed all business needs. Maisons du Monde’s teams quickly embraced and adapted to the solution, greatly facilitating the change management process.

Results for Maisons du Monde

The group benefited from implementing the solution and the associated change management by standardizing and harmonizing all formats to the ISO20022 standard (camt format). Maisons du Monde is now ahead of the curve in terms of compliance in Europe.

In addition to this streamlined banking communication, the successes are numerous:

Time Savings Through Automation: 98% of bank reconciliations are automated, taking less than 10 minutes daily
Improved Error and Fraud Detection
Significantly Optimized Payment Management: Particularly through automatic generation of forecasts
More Complete and Faster Reporting: With the ability to quickly extract information for easier analysis

Following the success of implementing myDiapason Treasury, Maisons du Monde is exploring new features for daily cash management: short and medium-term forecasting, payment fraud control with Sis ID, extension of the Foreign Exchange module, etc.
