Problem Statements
Qonty Foods encountered several financial and operational challenges that were hindering their ability to manage growth effectively
Complex reconciliation processes: As the company scaled, their manual reconciliation processes became increasingly time-consuming and prone to errors, making it difficult to maintain accuracy in their financial records.
High transaction volume: The growing network of suppliers and customers resulted in a high volume of transactions that became difficult to track and reconcile manually. This led to discrepancies and inefficiencies in financial reporting.
Time-intensive manual processes: Employees spent an inordinate amount of time on manual reconciliations, which impacted overall productivity and reduced their ability to focus on value-adding tasks within the finance department.
Our Solution

This provided Qonty Foods with real-time visibility into their finances, allowing them to track transactions more efficiently and make more informed decisions.
Streamlined workflow and processes: Brego optimized existing workflows by eliminating redundant steps, enabling faster reconciliation cycles. This reduced the time spent on manual processes and improved overall operational efficiency within the finance department.
