SERPAT, a major player in the Marseille region, manages a diverse portfolio of activities: construction, transport, real estate… Driven by rapidly expanding operations, SERPAT quickly faced the question of financial control and risk management.
With manual processes and a lack of solutions to prevent tax audits, the company struggled to minimize risks in a reliable, harmonized, and automatic way.
Structural Challenges in a Complex Environment
In a context of strengthened regulations, SERPAT faced several issues:
- Fragmented controls, limiting effective supervision across all operations.
- Risk of tax non-compliance related to new regulations.
- Business and control continuity with limited teams experiencing high turnover.
- High manual workload mobilizing resources for repetitive, low-value tasks.
The Bottlenecks
- Absence of standardized financial processes.
- Lack of automation, leading to work overload for teams.
- Insufficient detection of anomalies and fraud risks.
