Scattered Finance
No single place to review financial activity across the businesses.
Centralising Financial Control Across MRS Oil Nigeria’s Business Ecosystem
SandCup partnered with MRS Oil Nigeria, a Nigerian energy company, to ideate and design Finas, an enterprise financial management system for payments, approvals, ledgers, analytics and business performance across the enterprise.
Finas gives MRS one place to manage finance across its businesses and see the company as a whole. Each business stays distinct, while decision-makers get one shared financial view.
The Challenge of Managing Finance Across Multiple Businesses
Limited Visibility
Stakeholders could see individual parts of the picture, but not the company as a whole.
Separate Control
Financial reviews and approvals remained within individual business contexts.
A Two-Way Solution
MRS needed its financial system to be accessible at various management touchpoints. We structured Finas as two connected experiences: an application and a desktop system.
Finas Desktop System
Financial management through the desktop
A broader working environment for financial operations, records, and administration.
Finas App
Financial management through the application
Access to business performance, analysis and financial actions within a focused application experience.
A Desktop System for Detailed Financial Management
The desktop system extends Finas into the wider financial structure of MRS. It brings financial records together with company activity, assets, locations and logistics, giving teams a fuller environment to manage the business.
Dashboard
Brings sales, transactions, margins, customer activity, vendor records and business performance into one central view.
Company Overview
Shows financial activity at company level, with transfer details organised across the General Ledger, Vendors & Suppliers, and Customers.
Transactions
Keeps transaction activity connected to the business or location it came from, making financial records easier to review in context.
E-Ledger Book
Organises day-to-day transaction activity into a structured digital ledger for financial review.
Geo-location Sorting
Lets management compare financial performance across stations and locations, including sales, margins and demand.
Assets
Gives MRS visibility into key operational assets, including stations, pumps, dispensers and associated technology.
Shipping
Connects financial management with fuel logistics, giving management visibility into movement and activity across MRS stations.
An Application for Financial Oversight
Financial management could not depend on desktop access alone. Key reviews, analysis and actions also needed to stay accessible to management beyond the desk.
We ideated the application as a connected management layer within Finas, carrying that financial visibility and decision-making into a more accessible experience.
Approvals
Lets authorised managers review and approve payments, including requests to source and distribute funds from the main business.
Analytics
Brings together Business Analytics, Revenue and Profit & Loss, Customer & Sales performance, Loans, Assets and Tax Overview for a broader view of financial performance.
Assets
Gives management a dedicated view of business assets, making asset information easier to review alongside the company's financial position.
Bank Details
Keeps bank statements, payment requests and receipts accessible in one place for clearer review of banking activity.
Payables
Shows scheduled and planned payments, helping management see upcoming commitments and prepare for what is due next.
Complete View Across Reporting Periods
Daily View
Tracks day-to-day financial activity and gives management a current picture of the business.
Monthly View
Brings the month together for a clearer review of performance, payments and commitments.
Yearly View
Shows the wider financial picture across the year for management review and reporting.
Custom Periods
Lets the business review performance across its own defined financial periods.
What the 360° solution
made possible
Controls & Approvals in One Place
Payment requests, approvals and fund sourcing within the same financial system.
One Management Access Across Businesses
Access and move between MRS businesses through one Finas environment.
Asset Visibility Built In
Asset information in Finas for direct leadership visibility.
SandCup understood the gaps we were trying to solve and translated our vision into Finas in a way that reflected how our businesses actually work. They helped us address the internal disconnects around financial information and control without oversimplifying the complexity behind them.
