Customer’s history

Active in the construction sector since 2019, Renova Red remains, for the first two years, a small company that is then acquired by the current shareholder to be relaunched on the market. At the moment, it operates in Italy with 53 construction sites, has 129 employees and a growing turnover: in 2021 it closed the year with 20 million euros; in 2022 it more than doubled with 46 million euros and in 2023 the forecast is to reach a turnover of between 85 and 90 million euros.

Marco Casadei, CFO of Renova Red with 25 years of administrative management experience in a large listed group behind him, explains that the needs of a growing company like his are many; in particular, there is a need for practicality and speed in the acquisition and processing of financial data. Cash management, then, is crucial, especially at this time when the banking system demands certain business requirements.

" The main benefit Agicap has brought to the company is flexibility and immediately available data. "

CFO

Customer’s needs

  • Have up-to-date, real-time financial data available

  • Link the budget, both site and company budgets, to cash flows to create reliable forecasts

  • Have customised and immediate reporting for board members

Solution

Now, thanks to Agicap, Marco Casadei and his team can manage the financial flows within construction sites and thus monitor the order flows. At the same time, the CFO can connect to the software at any time and have an eye on the financial situation of the entire company in real time.

In addition, Casadei can create a cash flow forecast by linking the budgets, both site and company budgets, to the cash flows by simply uploading an Excel file of their own creation to Agicap. This allows an overall financial reference budget to be added to the site budgets.

And again, on Agicap, Renova Red uses the Dashboard function, which allows accurate and continuous reporting over time. One part is used directly within Agicap and can be consulted at any time by managers via the mobile app. Another is downloaded onto a spreadsheet and then inserted into larger presentations, covering budgets or other company reports.

" Agicap allows me to prepare dedicated reports, site by site, on cash availability. "

Marco Casadei

CFO

Renova Red is satisfied with the product because, unlike a spreadsheet, Agicap allows for consistency of data over time, thus helping the finance department in their daily activities, which can be carried out faster and more accurately.

Conclusion

  • The team can easily manage the cash flow of each individual construction site and the entire company in real time

  • The CFO can create accurate cash flow forecasts by importing site and company budgets directly into Agicap

  • Customised dashboards allow the team to obtain tailor-made reports to share with management

Next steps

In the future, Renova Red plans to link other current accounts and entities to Agicap. It will also use the reporting for institutional communications to banks and financial partners.
