Background

As Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts’ (LACSD) operations grew and it began managing multiple projects and services, the agency faced increasing complexity in financial management. It needed greater visibility into its financial data to track budgets, manage costs, and ensure effective use of public funds. Here are few key challenges faced by the client:

• Limited visibility into Cash Flow, Expenses, Journal Line Details, Account Balances, and Account Activities
• Difficulty in identifying inefficiencies and areas for cost reduction across various departments and processes
• Difficulty in tracking overdue payments, leading to delayed collections and increased days sales outstanding (DSO)
• Frequently missing out on early payment discounts due to lack of visibility into discount opportunities

DiLytics deployed its pre-built flagship solution, branded as “DiLytics Financial Insight Solution,” approved by Oracle Corporation and available on Oracle Marketplace. Leveraging the solution’s rich pre-built content, DiLytics was able to meet LACSD’s business requirements with minimal customization, ensuring a seamless fit. This streamlined deployment enabled a rapid time-to-market of just three months. DiLytics also followed a proven 5-step methodology to ensure smooth integration into LACSD’s workflow, blending out-of-the-box capabilities with tailored adjustments.

With the DiLytics Financial Insight Solution, LACSD was able to track and analyze key business metrics across essential financial areas, including: 

• General Ledger (GL) – Activity, balance, and budget performance to ensure comprehensive financial visibility
• Accounts Payable (AP) – Payment schedules, distributions, and overdue payments; improving cash flow and vendor management
