Treasury Dragons invites you to their event
About this event
Cash visibility is the foundation of effective treasury decision-making. Yet, for most organisations, it remains frustratingly incomplete. Research consistently shows that the vast majority of corporates do not have full, real-time visibility over global cash positions, with some studies suggesting that up to 95% of organisations lack complete enterprise-wide cash visibility. The result is uncertainty, conservative buffers, idle cash, and missed opportunities to optimise liquidity.
When treasury cannot see cash clearly, everything else suffers. Funding decisions become reactive. Forecasts rely on assumptions rather than facts. Excess borrowing co-exists with trapped cash in pockets of the business. Even organisations with modern TMS infrastructure often report visibility of only 60% or less of their total cash at any point in time.
As a result, cash visibility has become a top investment priority for treasury teams — driven by the need for faster insight, better control, and confidence in decision-making across liquidity, risk, and capital allocation.
This Treasury Dragons Webinar puts four cash visibility platforms in front of a treasury audience. Each provider has just seven minutes to pitch their approach. No long demos. No sales theatre. Just clear explanations of how they aggregate data, improve timeliness, and deliver actionable insight.
In under an hour, you’ll see how different solutions tackle one of treasury’s most persistent challenges — and which are worth a closer look.

Warren is a Director at Zanders and heads up their treasury technology support service line. He has seen first-hand how fragmented bank connectivity, inconsistent system taxonomies, and manual reconciliation workarounds erode treasury's ability to see cash clearly — and his team has worked on the remediation activities: parser consolidation, taxonomy simplification, and payment format modernization that underpin faster, more reliable cash positioning and forecasting. His perspective bridges the platform and the practitioner, understanding both what these systems are technically capable of and where they typically fall short in delivering the real-time visibility treasurers need.
