Veolia & Sidetrade:
AI at the Heart of a Strategic Partnership to Optimize Cash Flow
Thanks to Sidetrade’s solution, we have achieved excellent results. We successfully deployed the solution in just six months, significantly improved our DSO, and optimized our collections process. Building on these successes, we have decided to expand this collaboration internationally to further accelerate our transformation and optimize our Cash Flow management

Veolia
Veolia, a global leader in optimized resource management, provides innovative solutions for water, waste, and energy management to contribute to a more sustainable future.
Issues
- Deliver cash value to Finance Transformation
- Optimize receivables management
- Structure and train teams
- Improve DSO
- Strengthen the strategic partnership between Veolia and Sidetrade, established in 2019.


At the time, we wanted to harmonize our receivables management and find a solution that met our needs. We needed to structure our teams, making them increasingly professional and well-trained. Sidetrade’s cloud-native approach and strong AI capabilities were key factors in our decision. That’s why we chose Sidetrade on a global scale—not only for the quality of the solution but also for the quality of the partnership.
