ERP systems, payment platforms, third-party master data repositories, BI tools, banking platforms, and operational business systems: everything must communicate in real time.

With its secure REST API, Datalog TMS takes a decisive step forward—enabling Group Treasury teams to break out of silos and transforming the Treasury Management System from a standalone management tool into a fully interconnected financial platform, capable of orchestrating flows, data, and decision-making across the enterprise.

A Simple, Robust, and Secure Architecture — A Structured Response to Payment Fraud

The Datalog TMS API is built on a clear and secure framework:

• HTTPS calls (GET)

• Secure authentication fully aligned with TMS user rights (action permissions, entity-level access, viewing rights, etc.)

• Structured JSON responses

• Immediate processing within the ERP or any third-party system

Result: instant and secure financial connectivity—no manual data extraction, no Excel reprocessing, no operational latency.

Tangible Benefits for the Treasury Function

1. Instant Data Retrieval

The API enables real-time retrieval into the ERP or any upstream accounting or management system of:

• Payment or batch execution statuses from the Payment Factory, to track workflow progress (including rejections and associated reasons)
• Payments, for real-time reconciliation in upstream systems against transactions recorded in the TMS
• Batch and payment history for consolidation purposes
• Manually created payments in the TMS, instantly fed back into the ERP or accounting system

👉 Eliminates manual exports
👉 Accelerates consolidation processes

Productivity impact:

• Shorter closing cycles
• Automatic cash position updates
• Real-time ERP ↔ TMS synchronization

2. Intelligent Data Filtering

The API allows precise selection of:

• Required data fields
• Defined organizational scopes
• Specific transaction types
• Selected time periods

Users retrieve only what is strictly necessary.

Productivity impact:

• Reduced data overload
• Lighter, more efficient integrations
• Improved flow performance

3. Agile Implementation — Including On-Premise Environments

This web service is straightforward to deploy on existing servers, enabling two main scenarios:

• Seamless integration into an existing IT landscape
• Connection to internal tools (BI, RPA, data lakes)

Productivity impact:

• Fast deployment
• No heavy IT projects
• Full alignment with group security requirements

4. Fast and Configurable Scalability

New data types are continuously added in successive releases, including:

• Bank statements
• Third-party master data
• Enriched status information
• Analytical datasets

This ensures the API evolves alongside:

• Group expansion
• Regulatory requirements
• Emerging data-driven use cases

Use Cases

1. Automatic ERP Payment Synchronization

An ERP system initiates supplier payments.
The API automatically retrieves:

• The bank execution status
• The transaction reference number
• The actual execution date

👉 Elimination of manual reconciliations
👉 Reduction of status errors
👉 Time savings for the accounting team

2. Intelligent RPA for Reconciliation

An RPA bot queries the API to:

• Identify rejected payments
• Retrieve error codes
• Automatically generate tickets

👉 Reduced manual processing
👉 Improved resolution rates
👉 Fewer internal escalations

3. Feeding a Finance Data Lake

TMS payment data can be automatically injected into a data environment to support:

• Forecast vs. actual analysis
• Multi-year historical tracking
• Behavioral analysis of cash flows

👉 Improved forecast accuracy
👉 Stronger strategic cash management

Strategic Opportunities Enabled by API-Driven Integration

The API is not merely a technical connector.
It repositions the TMS as a central financial hub.

1. Towards Real-Time Treasury

With the API, an increasingly proactive treasury function can envision:

• Dynamic alerts based on liquidity thresholds
• Automated cash pooling arbitrage
• Automated short-term financing triggers

This paves the way for more secure and intelligent payment management.

2. Advanced Automation (AI / Machine Learning)

With a standardized, structured JSON data flow:

• Cash flow anomaly detection
• Liquidity stress prediction
• Automatic position optimization

The API becomes the technical foundation of an augmented treasury function—and a powerful anti-fraud lever.

3. Partner Ecosystem

While Datalog TMS provides an API to retrieve and push data into other systems, it also enables seamless connectivity to third-party APIs without complex configuration, including:

• Specialized fintech integrations
• ESG / CSR reporting tools
• Trade finance solutions
• Automated hedging platforms

The TMS thus evolves into an open platform within a broader financial ecosystem.
