Aritma Control Cloud is the market’s leading solution for efficient reconciliation and financial control – accessible anytime, anywhere. Previously, Control Cloud was only integrated with Visma NET, but we are now expanding support to Visma Business NXT. We are also working on building integrations with more accounting systems in the future. The solution has recently undergone several optimizations, and with exciting features under development, we are just at the beginning of what’s to come. The future of financial control is here – and we’re excited to take you along on the journey!
Why Reconcile Accounts?
Anyone managing accounts has a legal obligation to reconcile them before the end of the financial year. Reconciliation is crucial for ensuring that the figures in the accounts match the underlying documentation. It is one of the most important processes for quality assurance, but when done manually, it quickly becomes a time-consuming task. Manual reconciliation demands significant resources, both in terms of time and effort, and it increases therisk of errors. Small discrepancies can often go unnoticed, and the longer they take to be discovered, the harder they become to correct. In other words, manual reconciliation can be costly – in both time and unnecessary frustration.
Control Cloud Takes a New Step in 2024
Aritma Control Cloud offers a solution that addresses these challenges. Matias Tonning, product owner of Control, explains that the development of Control began in 2020 as part of Aritma’s commitment to cloud-based solutions."Despite significant progress already, in 2024, a dedicated team was established to take the solution to new heights through optimization and further development."
A major milestone was reached this year with the upcoming launch of the integration with Visma Business NXT. In addition, we have launched a brand-new version of ERPHub, a microservice that significantly simplifies and streamlines ERPintegrations. This marks a significant step forward in our ambition to offer an even more seamless user experience.
The Benefits of Control in the Cloud
One of the biggest advantages of Control in the cloud is the ability to perform exception-based reconciliation. With an impressive automation rate of 96%, nearly all transactions are reconciled automatically, significantly reducing the need for manual work. Control automatically retrieves bank and accounting data, eliminating the need for the finance department to manually fetch files.
Moreover, Control provides a clear and comprehensive overview of reconciliations andaccounts across clients. The cloud platform also allows multiple users to work on reconciliations simultaneously, making it highly flexible and efficient. With Control in the cloud, businesses get a modern solution that simplifies workflows and boosts productivity.
Features of Aritma Control Cloud
Control in the cloud offers full flexibility with smart features that maximize automation. Customize reconciliation rules to ensure that as many transactions as possible are reconciled automatically – saving you time! The solution allows you to easily manage account reconciliations across clients, and use interim reconciliations for accounts with frequent transactions, such as payroll advances, expenses, and intercompany accounts. This gives you full control ofthe balance at all times.
Control in the cloud delivers a seamless experience through its user-friendly interface, where reports can be generated without limitations – whenever you need them. The tight integration with accounting systems enables entries to be posted directly from Control, simplifying and streamlining the entire reconciliation process from start to finish.
Go-Live with Visma Business NXT on October 8th
The new version of Control Cloud, going live on October 8th, will be significantly faster than the current solution, providing customers with a much more efficient reconciliation process. Behind this improvement lies extensive work on optimizing the engine that drives Control.
"We have made many technical improvements. The entire project over the past six months has involved a major rewrite. We have, among other things, upgraded the framework versions of the platforms we use, transitioned from monolith to microservice architecture, improved scalability, performance, and availability, and paved the way for more efficient development of new features," says Tonning, who leads the team behind the optimization.
Tonning emphasizes that the focus going forward will be on making the solution more scalable and improving the product for future development.
Future Upgrades and Finance Manager
The product's further development will include integrations with additional ERP systems, ensuring that Control Cloud can be adapted to even more customers.
One of the most exciting upcoming releases is Finance Manager, which will integrate all our cloud-based products into a unified solution. This means that Pay, Control, and Commerce will be integrated into a user-customized dashboard, providing full control over your financial data. With Finance Manager, you can tailor how you want to view the information, and a built-in task manager allows you to create and assign tasks to team members, making collaboration even moreefficient and seamless.
Another important initiative is the self-service offering, as Tonning describes: "This allows customers to connect integrations to banks and accounting systems themselves, and to add accounts and clients without the need for support." Additionally, planned features include rule-based automaticposting, intercompany reconciliations, and a notification system to provide even more efficient financial management.
