Profile Software treasury platform promises full automation

Profile Software has announced the new version of its treasury platform Acumen.plus. The real-time cloud-native platform aims to deliver an advanced user experience and automation to treasurers around the world.

The platform was developed to enable users to check and validate mass deals’ imports using real-time APIs. It offers functions for bulk uploads, allowing a secure and easy monitoring of the process. Users can inspect and authorise uploaded deals, before actual creation in the system, which should eliminate errors and ensure quality of data.

A quick input facility is also available, for money market, bond and foreign exchange (FX) spot deals. The firm says that when deals are not executed in external trading platforms or systems but agreed non-electronically, treasurers may still easily manually input them by entering only the key values in a special command line, which should saving time for more added value activities.

Acumen.plus also delivers flexibility to easily configure screens within the application and mask unused fields. It enables personalisation and allows the user to work on familiar screens used in other applications focusing on the information that is relevant to them, while accommodating the bank’s specific workflows for any deal type.

All analyses can be accessed directly through dashboards and shortcuts can be user-specific. Treasury reporting has been enhanced to offer on-demand charts and dashboards. Template reports and dashboards are available for holistic and real-time views of activities in different areas, with a focus on specific tasks or instruments where needed.

The accounts are designed to provide businesses and institutions with high-interest and fixed rate certificates of deposit (CD) based on blockchain decentralised financial markets.

Intellabridge is also aiming to solve the problem of operational complexities for treasury customers with automated US dollar to stablecoin conversions, private-key management, enhanced cybersecurity, customer service, and traditional banking integration capabilities.
