Case Study: MIVA
Industry: Internet Search Engine
Application: Intercompany Advanced Financial Reporting
Company Overview
MIVA is all about helping businesses grow through performance marketing services. From setting up storefronts to delivering customers to client websites, MIVA can help in multiple ways. To achieve these objectives, it has established three main divisions, each complementing the others and each offering its own unique products and services:
- Miva Media - Helping businesses grow customers and revenue
- Miva Small Business - Providing e-commerce solutions to small businesses
- Miva Direct - Helping businesses develop one-to-one relationships with customers
Business Challenge
MIVA is made up of 11 legal entities. These entities all trade with one another and have to consolidate their results into the NASDAQ listed
legal entity.
Intercompany transactions used to have to be keyed twice and consolidating the report to US-GAPP standards was manual, time consuming and prone
to error.
Solution
- Intercompany Expense Allocation
- Advanced financial / consolidation reporting
Benefits
- Consolidated reporting time was reduced from days to hours
- Elimination of errors by automating inter-company transactions
- Reduced reconciliation time
"Using the intercompany service has reduced the effort and removed the errors and frustrations we have been experiencing over a period close."
Barry Mason, Global Financial Systems Manager
