Treasury Operations Platform
3h → 12m
cash-flow forecast prep time
Lumen moved treasury operations for $180M+ in assets from spreadsheet chains to a single working system.
Understanding the problem
The treasury team handled balances, FX exposure, and forecasting in Excel across multiple banks and currencies. Existing tools were either too limited or required long enterprise rollouts they could not afford.
Finding the path forward
We built a narrow V1 with four core workflows and put it in daily use by week 8. The trade-off was reduced initial scope, but it gave us production feedback early and shaped the next releases around real operator behavior.
“Our treasury team stopped exporting to Excel for daily decisions. That is the clearest signal this was built for how we actually work.”

Bringing it all together
The platform combines API and SFTP bank ingestion, FX exposure tracking, forecasting, and scenario modeling that replaced 40+ spreadsheet tabs. Two bank integrations required temporary manual reconciliation during the first release cycle while mapping rules stabilized.
