Illustrative scenario
How a 3-week sprint surfaced
₹50 Cr+ of value at stake
in a large Indian conglomerate
Procurement and distribution business. ₹15,000 Cr+ annual revenue. Sub-2% PAT margin. SAP and Tally.
"The gaps in your financial data are not an IT problem. They are a strategic liability. And they are fixable, permanently, in three weeks."
The insight
At 1% PAT on ₹15,000 Cr, a 0.1% operational improvement is worth ₹15 Cr.
That is the frame for every gap we map.
The five gaps
What the sprint found
Procurement running on 24 to 48 hour old price data
Every purchase order approved at yesterday's price. At scale, that is not rounding error.
Cash conversion cycle invisible end to end
No single view of receivables, payables and cash. The CFO's position is always approximate.
Compliance deadlines on personal calendars and email
Near-misses unescalated. No audit trail. One departure away from a missed filing.
MIS lagging operations by 3 to 5 days
Decisions made on data that is already outdated when it arrives.
Approvals on email and WhatsApp, outside the ERP
No searchable record. No escalation path. The ERP shows commitments that never went through it.
The response
Four agents in three weeks
Cash Flow Visibility Engine
End-to-end cash conversion cycle, updated in near real time from bank feeds and ERP receivables. One number, not five spreadsheets.
Procurement Intelligence Monitor
Live price data against open purchase orders. Flags variance before PO approval. Runs continuously without human intervention.
Compliance Calendar Agent
Every statutory deadline tracked. Alerts at 7 days, 3 days and 24 hours. Filed-versus-due reconciled automatically. Near-miss log maintained.
MIS Intelligence Layer
Management reports from live data. No manual assembly. Available the moment the period closes, not three days after.
The engagement model
Fixed sprint. Permanent output.
- Fixed three-week sprint
- Permanent output: agents run without Verum intervention
