Royal London — a mutual life, pensions and investment company — has transformed its financial operations with AutoRek — a financial control platform — to replace its data reconciliation systems and support growth plans.
The firm says that as Royal London expanded, AutoRek's platform enabled the organisation to transform its financial operations infrastructure.
AutoRek's no-code interface has provided Royal London with automated balance sheet control and data reconciliation capabilities, allowing the organisation to scale from 80 reconciliations to more than a 100.
The firm also informs that the platform has delivered a 50 to 70 per cent reduction in reconciliation workload, maintained lean, self-sufficient finance teams and integrated acquired businesses without additional resources.
Tony Shek, global sales lead at AutoRek, says: “Modern reconciliation platforms enable finance teams to scale efficiently, transforming finance operations into a strategic enabler for growth. rather than just a compliance exercise.
“Royal London demonstrates how the right reconciliation platform becomes a strategic enabler for growth, transforming finance operations from a constraint into a competitive advantage, rather than just a compliance exercise.”
Chris Copley, finance systems accountant at Royal London, adds: “AutoRek has fundamentally changed how we operate. We've created more demanding internal customers because teams that experience good automation want it everywhere.
“When we onboard a new company or process, the expectation is now 'make it automated from day one.’ We've maintained our small team while supporting massive growth – that simply wouldn't have been possible with our old approach.”
