Building a Financial Shared Center for a 71-Company Manufacturing Group
01 50% Review Efficiency — Standardized Processes Across 71 Companies
Helios standardized expense workflows across all 71 Lingyi companies, creating uniform processes for expense submission, approval routing, and policy enforcement. Pre-event budgeting, in-event control, and post-event analysis are now managed through a single platform with consistent rules. This standardization eliminated the inefficiency of managing 71 different sets of processes, improving overall review efficiency by 50%.
02 40%+ Headcount Savings — The Power of a Shared Services Model
By consolidating expense processing into a shared services center on Helios, Lingyi dramatically reduced the headcount needed to manage group-wide expense operations. The platform's automation — from OCR receipt recognition to automated policy checks and electronic approval routing — eliminated redundant manual work across subsidiaries. The result was a 40%+ reduction in the personnel required for expense processing, allowing the finance team to focus on higher-value strategic analysis.
03 Four Pillars of Standardization — Policy, Process, System & Accounting
Helios helped Lingyi achieve its four-pillar standardization framework: standardized policies across all 71 companies, unified processes from submission to payment, automated systems replacing manual workflows, and consistent accounting standards for expense categorization and GL posting. This created a truly unified expense management foundation for the entire group, supporting Lingyi's continued expansion through acquisition with a ready-built integration platform.
Conclusion
By building its financial shared services center on Helios, Lingyi iTech transformed fragmented expense operations across 71 companies into a standardized, automated group-wide platform. Review efficiency improved by 50%, headcount was reduced by 40%+, and the four-pillar standardization framework created a scalable foundation for continued growth. The platform now serves 98,000+ employees with consistent, efficient expense management.
