Cognix uses an ecosystem of pre-built, configurable, and reusable digital solutions called value builders to address specific CFO goals. For example, a Cash-flow Command Center provides AI-powered real-time insights into the cash flow position at any given time with a view of the projected cash inflow and an impact assessment in case of an event. Similarly, GL Integrity Analysis empowers controllers with AI-powered intelligent insights and recommendations on detected anomalies.
