Cenveo Worldwide Ltd. operates in an industry sector known for tight profit margins. Based in Stamford, Connecticut, and operating out of 19 facilities across North America, Cenveo produces a wide variety of envelopes, as well as custom labels for various industries including food and beverage. "We produce one in every four envelopes manufactured in the U.S.," says Benjamin Seal, vice president of treasury services.

Visibility into the company's global cash position is business-critical. In addition to the cash management pressures that every business faces, Cenveo must plan around seasonal demand for envelopes, particularly from the financial services firms that make up a sizable portion of its customer base.

"The outflows for materials to make all those envelopes get intense in late summer, a few months before demand for our products peaks," explains Frank Coppola, senior vice president of finance and accounting. "Managing liquidity could get sticky. We need accurate forecasts; we need to see the trends and know where to pull levers. Business and financing decisions are only as good as the information we have."
