3 3 FINANCESUITE WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OPTIMIZE YOUR WORKING CAPITAL AND RELEASE VALUABLE LIQUIDITY FOR YOUR CORPORATE GROWTH! FinanceSuite Working Capital Management is an innovative software solution that helps you to significantly increase efficiency in your working capital management. In combination with a comprehensive consulting concept, you create optimum conditions to tap the full potential. Efficient working capital management is an important cornerstone for a strong internal financing capability. Instead of using external funding, companies can release valuable internal liquidity reserves, if they control their processes in the best possible way. It is important to know the cost drivers and how they can be continuously improved. To date, companies largely use typical indicators such as DSO (Days Sales Outstanding), DPO (Days Payables Outstanding) and DIO (Days Inventory Outstanding) on specific reporting dates for their analysis. These indicators are, surely, of importance for an overview of the working capital level, however, they only provide limited options for an active control, not least because of the focus on reporting dates. For an efficient working capital management and a sustainable release of liquidity the following factors are particularly important: Indicators beyond DSO and DPO Maximum transparency in the processes Continuous measuring and analyzing In-depth analysis of all details Detailed and continuous analyses cannot only identify cost drivers in the processes very quickly and reliably, but they also easily reveal the potential for optimization. Working capital control cannot be restricted to mere capital commitment - all other cost factors that are connected to it directly or indirectly (specifically cash discounts) have to be analyzed, measured and controlled actively.

4 4 Innovative Technology for Quick Dynamic Analyses Based on Document and Transaction Data With the FinanceSuite Working Capital Management Hanse Orga offers an innovative, web-based tool with which you can automatically - for the first time - collect all relevant document and transaction data for your working capital management (e.g., delivery/service date, document date, payment period, payment receipt, cash discounts and other discounts, etc.) from the underlying SAP and non- SAP systems and evaluate them in real time and in a straight-forward manner. Whereas, previously, such information had to be collected with great manual efforts, now the data are available automatically and fast. This facilitates continuous analyses that deliver much more detailed information than before. Numerous user-defined views can be set with this tool: with drill-down functions you can access the detailed information for specific customers, affiliated companies, material groups down to specific documents, etc. With this you can achieve the highest degree of transparency at any time, not just on defined reporting dates. The FinanceSuite Working Capital Management allows, for the first time, an ongoing monitoring of how much cash is actually locked up where in the company and which costs or charges are incurred in the income statement because of it. A concise list lets you identify cost drivers immediately so that you can take immediate action to improve processes and leverage potentials. By transparently uncovering internal process inefficiencies, a benchmarking against the ideal situation is enabled, which thus creates important incentives to always optimize financial processes. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SOFTWARE Business intelligence with web-based technology Automatic processing of data from SAP and non-sap systems Up-to-date data basis: document and transaction data Historic reference data: Comparisons of payment conditions, payment history, etc. based on user-defined periods From a central overview to the details (customers, material groups, markets, etc.) via drill-down function Simulation of scenarios (conditions, potential for improvements) Industry-sector benchmarking Classic working capital management reporting, however, without reporting date effect Comprehensive Indicators that Help Spur a More Exact Working Capital Management The FinanceSuite Working Capital Management facilitates a more detailed analysis of your working capital than was possible with the traditional means. In addition to DSO and DPO, numerous indicators from Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable are used to analyze processes and to indicate optimization potentials. For example: Billing and invoicing process Payment conditions in purchasing and sales departments Receivables monitoring and dunning procedure Control of outgoing payments Some process elements can be easily controlled through internal measures (e.g., shortening the billing period, optimization of accounts receivable,

5 5 Complete and Flexible Reporting avoiding payments before due date in the payment run, ensuring the use of cash discount); other areas, such as the payment conditions, require additional negotiations with customers or vendors to bring about improvements. Exact analyses of the status quo are necessary for this as well as simulations - which you can perform quickly, regularly and in a meaningful manner with the innovative Finance- Suite Working Capital Management. An overview of potentials separated by liquidity and result effect (from, e.g., interest and cash discount) specific options for improvements. The software can generate flexible and dynamic reports that are based on all relevant accounts receivable and accounts payable indicators and allow for a more realistic picture of the quality of the working capital management than the mere reporting date view of DSO and DPO. Reports can be historicized and you can use them to monitor the progress of your working capital management activities. You can customize all reports and evaluation logics to the specific business processes and requirements of your company or specific divisions. This turns your company ready to find and maintain the ideal (with regards to liquidity and result) working capital level. On the basis of the results, you can sustainably improve your processes and release significant volumes of trapped cash. At the same time, you show your customers, vendors and investors that you run your business professionally and efficiently, and, at the same time, you can mobilize own resources.
