How automated workflows with Continia Banking creates a safer, more efficient finance operation
Managing payments can be time-consuming, detail-oriented work for finance teams. Read how NAB improved its banking workflows with Continia Banking—and took automation one step further with Eagle.
For Nina Tillström, Controller at NAB, mornings were spent logging into the bank, downloading files, importing them into the ERP system and then posting transactions manually. A process with multiple steps – and multiple risks. “The more manual steps you have, the easier it is to make a mistake or upload the wrong file. Plus, everything depends on the right person being available to do the job correctly,” Nina explains.
Today? A completely different reality.
With Continia and automated workflows, the process is not only simpler-it practically runs itself. Payment journals update automatically, files are sent directly to the bank from the system, and reconciliations happen without manual intervention. “What used to take 30 minutes every morning now takes 2 minutes. I save almost 95% of the time – and avoid the stress,” says Nina.
Less dependency on people – greater security
What used to rely on one person is now part of a standardized workflow. If Nina is out sick or on vacation, anyone on the team can run the routine. Everything is clearly documented and logged in the system. Efficiency and control in one Every morning, Nina runs her automated workflow: payments are exported and imported, accounts are reconciled, and everything is posted automatically. The system handles multiple companies and different file formats in one flow – no need for separate files or manual steps. This makes the routine faster and more consistent across the entire organization.
The results?
· 95% time savings every day · Higher security and compliance thanks to system-controlled file transfers and logging · Reduced dependency on individuals and improved continuity · Safer workflows with minimized risk of errors or duplicate payments
