Krispy Kreme Scales Treasury with APIs and a Modern Cash Flow Management Platform

Challenges

In the past five years, Krispy Kreme has experienced rapid revenue growth and multiple international expansion events. Naturally, this led to its corporate treasury team requiring advanced treasury technology capabilities that could facilitate its increasingly complex workflows and reporting needs.

Due to the increased complexity of its treasury and cash management needs, Krispy Kreme sought a robust solution that could work well with its banks to automatically aggregate, consolidate, and analyze multi-bank data across multiple currencies.

Solution

A Modern Cash Flow Management Platform Built on APIs

Having been recommended Trovata by their trusted banking advisor, Krispy Kreme chose to implement our platform based on API and cloud technology instead of a legacy treasury management system. 

A next-gen technology provider, Trovata is helping many of the world’s largest financial institutions, like Wells Fargo and JP Morgan, to digitally transform commercial and corporate banking with our growing network of direct API integrations – the largest in the world. 

For Krispy Kreme, that means they can obtain 100% visibility into their multi-bank data with a single source of truth. Leveraging APIs, a cloud bank data lake, and machine learning technology, Trovata empowers Krispy Kreme to analyze, report, forecast, and move money seamlessly.

With Trovata, Krispy Kreme can automatically generate cash forecasts based on machine learning algorithms, enhancing its ability to:

• Obtain a clear picture of its financial health

• Increase awareness of potential business risks and opportunities

• Experience predictable growth

Krispy Kreme’s multi-bank data lake brings its banking data to life. From a complex and secure network of global institutions, the bank data lake transforms all of the inputs into a common language, providing resilience, scalability, and extensibility. 

Through the use of our tagging feature, Krispy Kreme can identify and categorize specific transactions based on different criteria. This helps the team organize its primary cash flows into a more digestible format and serves as the foundation for building transaction-based analyses, reports, and forecasts.

With Trovata’s natural language search, Krispy Kreme can access any transaction data instantly, even when searching through thousands of transactions. Any search they perform can be utilized to create customizable data sets, which can be leveraged to generate real-time cash reports and forecasts on the fly.
