Managing growth & digital transformation in the retail industry

Overview

Growth is exciting — until your finance systems can't keep up with it.

As Matas Group grew, its accounts payable setup started working against it. Multiple AP systems. A solution too rigid to adapt or integrate cleanly. And a finance team spending more time keeping the machinery running than supporting the business.

In this session, Lasse Søegaard, Head of Finance Shared Services at Matas Group, shares the full story — where they started, what wasn't working, and how they moved to a single, flexible solution built for a growing retail business. He's joined by Rasmus Pedersen from Medius for an honest conversation about the decision, the rollout, and what's actually different day-to-day.

A real transformation, walked through step by step — the wins, the surprises, and what Lasse would tell anyone facing the same crossroads.

What you'll learn

• Why a fast-growing retailer outgrew its old AP setup — and the cost of multiple, disconnected systems
• What tipped the decision to change, and the criteria that mattered most: automation, control, compliance, and room to scale
• How moving to one flexible, global solution changed the day-to-day for the AP team
• The results Matas has seen so far — and where they're headed next
• Lasse's advice for other finance teams weighing the same move

Who should attend

Finance leaders, AP managers, and finance transformation teams in retail, consumer goods, and other fast-growing, multi-entity businesses — anyone whose systems are starting to feel like a limit rather than a lever.
