We have also taken some ideas and suggestions into consideration that we had learned about in discussions with clients, and have developed new tools that perfectly integrate with TFM, but which could also be used with any other third-party application allowing the import of data records.

Cash Flow Generator

This is a tool that can be used, among other features, to convert a budget into a cash flow forecast, applying freely definable parameters (e.g. effective terms of payment). Once data tables have been mapped, the automatically generated cash flows can be imported into TFM or any other system at the press of a button. This tool can also be used to generate payment schedules for recurring payments or schedules for e.g. projects with irregular payments over the course of the project duration.

FX Hedger

The ‘FX Hedger’ identifies all payments in foreign currencies (all currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities) and generates hedging proposals (group-internal forward transactions) on the basis of given hedge ratios per currency pair. Of course not every such payment is ‘at risk’ by nature, so further parameterization might be necessary and is certainly possible.

The tool automatically generates data records that could be sent to a trading platform, but also imported into TFM in order to facilitate the monitoring of the respective hedge ratios and limits.

Cash Flow Scenario Calculator

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether we support not only the cash flow forecasting process, but also provide a solution for simulations and scenario calculations. These requests quite often come with the requirement to have more or less unlimited options how to configure such possible scenarios. Our new tool offers a variety of simple, but also more complex options, depending on the specific requirements. Analysis and calculations are supported by features (charts, data comparison) that allow the immediate visualization of the impact of the application of individual scenarios. Again, the simulations might result in changed cash flows that will be automatically generated and could be imported into TFM for further reconciliation and future monitoring.

All these tools can be used by TFM clients without any additional costs.

One of the most attractive features, besides numerous ready-to-use and really useful chart templates, is the option of linking financial and geodata.

For example, just a few mouse clicks *) is all it takes to prepare maps on which you can see your subsidiaries and bank accounts and thus how much liquidity is located beyond the scope of your cash pools, evaluate the quality of cash clearing at your various subsidiaries, and see where FX cash flows are forecast or where FX balances exist.

One of the key requirements for this is that the underlying data are structured appropriately, which is where the data model of TFM plays a major role. There is no need to search endlessly for all the data you need – these are exactly where you would expect to find them. The relationships between the various tables are automatically generated by Power BI, provided that it can identify relations on the basis of the column header name, which is the case due to the data’s entirely consistent structure in TFM.

Finalized reports can be published within your organization at the press of a button so that these are available on PCs and smart devices, and with all of the interactivity which makes Power BI so exciting.

This is Microsoft’s long-awaited solution for the analysis and visualization of data and turns out to be a real grab bag which delivers positive surprises on a daily basis.

With just a basic understanding of Power BI, remarkable results can be obtained within a short time with a solution which, on the one hand, is a part of Office 365 and which, on the other, is also available free-of-charge as a desktop version and an app.

What’s more, Power BI perfectly fits the philosophy behind TFM – that you as the user should control the application, and not the other way around. While other providers require you to pay a small fortune for reports, TFM and Power BI are available at a fraction of these costs.
