The group operates several business units, such as T5 Automotores. With 10 years in the market, it focuses on providing services that deliver technological solutions in the areas of electronics, communications, IT services, security, and automation.

They support their clients with comprehensive risk management, ensuring information security and protecting critical processes from a business-oriented perspective.

Challenges

Prior to the project, Grupo T5 relied heavily on Excel spreadsheets to track information across its companies and cost centers. This fragmented approach made data consolidation complex and time-consuming, particularly for financial reporting and intercompany transactions.
Key challenges included:

Lack of centralized information across subsidiaries
Manual, error-prone processes in invoicing and accounting
Slow financial closing and complex intercompany eliminations
Limited visibility into group-wide cash flow, payables, and receivables
Difficulty in preparing tax and compliance reports for the Chilean SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos)
