Read MoreHide Full Article
Mastercard Incorporated (MA - Free Report) recently introduced a cloud-based analytics platform, Global Treasury Intelligence. The platform was made available for customers in most worldwide markets the day it was launched.
Built in partnership with the global source-to-settle analytics provider Robobai, the platform works by automating the process of data ingestion (transferring data from its source to a storage medium from where it can be accessed, utilized or analyzed by an organization) from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems of customers.
By getting exposed to client data, the solution empowers customers to track all payment flows occurring within their businesses, whether related to suppliers, commodities or different business lines. Additionally, the platform takes care of customer product requirements, such as card purchases, procurement offerings and Travel & Entertainment (T&E) technology by recording the commercial payment flows.
Global Treasury Intelligence was also developed to benefit current corporate clients with streamlined digital payments for their existing corporate customers. Needless to say, the endeavor to speed up global digital payments through advanced digital solutions continues to be one of Mastercard’s longstanding endeavors.
With so many benefits derived from the Mastercard platform, clients can follow a collaborative approach to chalk out apt financial strategies and gain greater visibility in the business payments domain across the globe. The task of selecting an apt supplier by clients is also eased with suppliers’ information provided by the platform, such as supplier environmental, social and governance (ESG) scoring and Know Your Supplier assessments.
The solution will also aid customers in enhancing risk management capabilities. Besides, fulfillment of corporate priorities, including cash management and ESG targets will be hassle-free with this newly-launched platform.
Apart from allowing customers to manage their businesses effectively, the introduction of Global Treasury Intelligence hints at Mastercard’s notable efforts in strengthening its insights and analytics services portfolio.
By leveraging the platform’s valuable insights, customers can optimally utilize and realize the complete worth of Mastercard solutions comprising Track BPS and Mastercard Instant Pay, which primarily expedite business-to-business payments.
Mastercard frequently resorts to partnerships with well-established organizations or pursues significant investments for devising innovative digital payment solutions, the latest move being one.
