The problem: financial details are in multiple places

The company relied on manual tracking to keep track of invoices, receipts, and expenses. With information spread across papers and technologies, it was impossible to know what had been paid, what was still outstanding and how expenditure was changing – restricting day-to-day cash-flow knowledge.
