About Grupo Veneza<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The company\u00a0Grupo Veneza<\/strong>\u00a0is a retail company with\u00a0more than 1,300 employees spread across 11 states in Brazil.<\/strong>\u00a0The organization operates as a dealer in machinery and equipment for the paving, agricultural, truck, bus and light vehicle sectors.<\/p>

The company, which started out as a family business, has grown strongly in recent years, and today\u00a0has its Shared Services Center (SSC) structure certified by the Great Place To Work (GPTW) institution,\u00a0<\/strong>acting in an increasingly professional manner and with total data security.<\/p>

Grupo Veneza\u2019s SSC began taking shape in 2019 by consolidating two existing administrative structures in Recife and Natal, in response to the shareholders\u2019 need\u00a0achieve greater synergy and reduce expenses<\/strong>. Since then, the area has\u00a0100 employees,<\/strong>\u00a0and is responsible for the administration of\u00a0operation of 59 CNPJs,<\/strong>\u00a0between headquarters and subsidiaries.<\/p>

According to\u00a0Marcello Rocha,<\/strong>\u00a0Director of Grupo Veneza\u2019s SSC,\u00a0half of this workforce works exclusively in transactional activities related to finance,<\/strong>\u00a0such as: accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit analysis, collection, cash flow, accounting, tax, legal, IT and indirect purchasing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Context<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The client's objective when looking for Dattos was to\u00a0automate, organize and professionalize the financial process<\/strong>\u00a0across Grupo Veneza\u2019s companies through efficient SSC management. At the start of the operation, there were still\u00a0many processes being carried out on paper, e-mail and spreadsheets, without clear procedures, standardization or information quality criteria.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

With the accelerated growth of companies,\u00a0the financial reconciliation process has become a major challenge,<\/strong>\u00a0due to the large volume of manual work, as well as rework and discrepancies in reconciliations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\"We needed governance and quality records, visibility to ensure that everything that happened in the accounts was correct and reflected in the company's accounts. But the reality was that, even with all the efforts and manual spreadsheets in this process, we always had a significant volume of pending items, reconciliations and rework,\" explains Marcello.<\/p>

With this need in mind, Grupo Veneza began looking for tools and solutions that could support the team. The first step was to implement a\u00a0a major transformation in the team's mentality and culture,<\/strong>\u00a0so that they could better understand the importance of delivering correct data on time.<\/p>

In parallel with the cultural change, the company also resorted to\u00a0technological tools\u00a0<\/strong>that could support the different routines of the CSC, and that's where they found Dattos. Marcello believes that technology is fundamental, and that finance departments that don't update themselves in this regard will be left behind.\u00a0<\/p>

\"Our motto has become:\u00a0investing in technology and optimizing routines to scale intelligently,<\/strong>\u00a0with automated processes and integrated transactions,\" he emphasizes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The finance teams had accumulated more than 2,600 hours of overtime due to the high volume of manual activities performed under tight deadlines\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Before Dattos, the\u00a0operation via Excel<\/strong>\u00a0was the approach chosen by Grupo Veneza to bring reconciliations up to date. However,\u00a0spreadsheets alone<\/strong>\u00a0it was not possible to achieve the expected result because the\u00a0transaction volume was too high.<\/strong><\/p>

Our\u00a0technology is optimized so that it doesn't require the support of an IT structure or programming expertise,<\/strong>\u00a0implementation became much simpler, which was a decisive factor in Grupo Veneza\u2019s decision to choose Dattos.<\/p>

Thus, with the\u00a0automated reconciliation and governance<\/strong>\u00a0enabled Grupo Veneza\u2019s SSC team to shorten its\u00a0daily reconciliation cycle to 48 hours,<\/strong>\u00a0applying the Continuous Accounting strategy in practice.<\/p>

\"Every day, we close the previous period for all the companies. In other words, many people are involved every day in an operation that needs to be standardized and systematized.\u00a0With Dattos, we've seen a huge gain in productivity and are able to deliver financial data to accounting every two days.<\/strong>\u00a0We have much more\u00a0consistency, accuracy, data quality,\u00a0<\/strong>as well as a leaner, more qualified team,\" says Marcello.<\/p>

Today,\u00a0of the 408,045 bank statement and ERP lines, 336,734 are automatically reconciled with Dattos,<\/strong>\u00a0corresponding to a percentage of\u00a080% of the SSC\u2019s entire financial operation.<\/strong><\/p>

Grupo Veneza\u2019s next steps are to continue advancing its digitalization strategy and seek new solutions that make SSC operations simpler and more scalable with the available technology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
