关于客户
Frontline Education 是一家为 K-12 教育机构开发软件的 SaaS 提供商。他们的学校管理软件涵盖招聘、雇用、时间跟踪、缺勤管理、专业发展、特殊教育和干预等一切内容,使学校系统能够更深入地了解学生和教职员工。公司总部位于美国宾夕法尼亚州马尔文。 Amanda Rompola 是高级会计经理,管理着一支由职员会计师和高级会计师组成的中等规模团队,负责处理 Frontline Education 的 AP/AR。公司的大部分 IT 资源都分配给产品开发,并有一支非常精干的团队专门负责内部系统管理。
挑战
Frontline Education 是一家面向 K-12 教育机构的 SaaS 提供商,在管理现金申请方面面临着重大挑战。该过程是通过将从银行发送的收款人信息上传到 Excel 电子表格中,并将其与另一个电子表格中的 NetSuite 帐户进行匹配来手动执行的。这个过程不仅耗时,需要会计人员花费数天的时间,而且还容易出错。公司的商业模式使情况变得更加复杂。作为一家为教育机构提供服务的 SaaS 公司,发票每年都会更新,以配合学年的开始。 Frontline 的财务团队拥有超过 12,000 名客户,需要在短时间内处理大量交易。通过 Excel 电子表格手动现金申请已经跟不上步伐,扩大团队也不是一个可行的解决方案。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战,Frontline Education 向 Celigo 寻求帮助,Frontline 的高级会计经理 Amanda Rompola 曾在这家公司工作过。 NetSuite 中实施了 Celigo 的现金申请管理器,以实现 Frontline 现金申请流程的自动化。该解决方案从 Frontline 银行检索支付信息,并立即将其与 NetSuite 中的客户进行匹配。这种自动化显着减少了处理发票所需的时间和精力。在采用现金申请管理器之前,Frontline 过去常常用一整天的时间来执行现金申请。现在,从现金申请到银行对账,每天只需要两个小时。此外,电子表格的消除以及更有效地审查输出的能力大大减少了错误。

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis
Case Study
Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.
