Slashing financial closing time for a leading infotainment major by 50%
 
 
The idea
Enabling Day One Financial Closure (DOFC) for the client’s book of accounts across 26 of its locations
 
The client
A Fortune 500 company, our client is the world leader in consumer electronics, communication and infotainment industry
 
The business challenge
The client’s existing system for financial day close was complex and had low integration levels. This meant approximately 7 days for the company to close the books at the end of each month for 26 diverse business units located across the US and Mexico.
 
The solution
Wipro partnered with this infotainment giant to fructify Day One Financial Closing (DOFC) across 26 of its cross-functional units and plants. The objective was to provide a summary and projections for financial data at the end of each month, instead of the middle of the following month. Our solutions which comprised implementation of Oracle R 10.7 and Oracle R 11.03 suite of solutions, helped “cut–off” sales and inventory transactions at a pre-defined day and time before month-end (day minus 1). The key challenge was of integrating various subsidiary systems to Oracle across these 26 cross-functional and geographically separate units, involving 3 Time Zones and 3 countries. Further, our solution ensured centralized tracking of corporate-wide non-trade invoices, drastically cutting cycle time and errors. We also implemented a central system for the settlement of inter–company transactions across all affiliate companies, including the head office. This resulted in significant savings in terms of transaction cost, interest paid to banks and currency hedge.
 
Business benefits
Cycle time for month-end closing of books has been reduced by 50% – from 7 days to 3 1/2 days
Real time availability of statements of accounts
Quicker and more accurate forecasts
Cycle time reduction in dealing with inter-company invoices and the overall number of transactions between business units and affiliate companies
