TIS Reveals High Costs of In-House AI Cash Forecasting

BERLIN, September 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), a leading cloud-based platform for payments and cash management, has released new research examining the true cost of building AI-powered cash forecasting capabilities in-house. Treasury teams are under increasing pressure to improve financial forecasting and make faster, more informed liquidity decisions, and AI can help deliver the accuracy and insight companies need. However, the decision to build these capabilities in-house or invest in purpose-built technology is not always clear-cut.

Building in-house can offer control, customization, and the ability to use existing IT resources, but the initial build is only part of the investment. Many organizations frequently underestimate the true financial, operational, and strategic costs of building and maintaining AI-powered forecasting solutions internally.

The research found that while building may make sense for some low-complexity organizations, the resource costs go up significantly as companies add entities, banking relationships, ERP systems, and geographies. Each layer of treasury technology brings additional development, integration, maintenance, and talent requirements that can drive up the total cost of an internal solution. The complexity of an organization's connections also affects how quickly they can realize value. For many companies, internal builds took 9 to 24 months depending on the environment.
