Best Treasury Software Solutions for 2024
Who’s dominating the Treasury Software space? Find out in this quick comparison guide where we look at 14 of the world’s top treasury solutions including SAP, Kyriba, FIS, and Coupa highlighting their key features and user benefits.
We recently published our new “Quick Buyer’s Guide to Treasury Technology in 2024” where we take a closer look at the key technological trends shaping the treasury sector over the past 12 months and the top players who appear to be leading these trends and dominating the space.
According to the results of a recent survey by Treasury Dragons, Coupa and FIS are at the forefront of treasury technology solutions, followed by Nomentia, Kyriba, Fides, and ION. Interestingly, the study highlights that more than 40% of treasurers employ more than one treasury technology tool, underscoring a market trend toward the need for greater integration in the sector.
In contrast, in a separate survey by Deloitte in 2022, SAP Treasury emerged as the most favored system among those surveyed, with Kyriba, FIS, and ION also being preferred for certain modules.
This trend is further pronounced by the results of our own research. In a LinkedIn poll of over 100 members of the Treasury group, over 30% indicated SAP as their primary treasury software provider. Kyriba was the choice for over 25% of the respondents, while FIS was selected by less than 20%.
To gain a deeper understanding of the treasury software arena and its leading figures, we sought to gather some primary customer usage data and insights from prominent rating agencies and platforms such as G2, Gartner, Featured Customers, and TrustRadius. We’ve summarised our findings in the following treasury technology comparison overview.
