Key takeaways

  1. Forto, a logistics platform, successfully integrated treasury operations through a partnership with Atlar and UniCredit.
  2. Atlar and UniCredit’s collaboration has streamlined the onboarding process for clients, allowing for faster, more efficient integrations with banking systems.

Founded in 2016, Forto is a global logistics platform reimagining supply chains through a digital-first approach. With 18 offices across Europe and Asia and a team of over 500 employees, Forto needed a connected treasury setup that could scale with its growth.

A trusted partnership for fast-scaling companies

Atlar and UniCredit Germany’s Cash Management team have built a strong partnership to support the treasury operations of Europe’s leading tech companies. Their work has enabled smooth integrations for joint customers like Forto—supporting control, visibility, and efficiency across global operations.

Forto has benefited from the close collaboration between Atlar and UniCredit.

Fast integrations that remove the customer workload

With multiple joint customers already live, Atlar and UniCredit have developed a working model that enables fast, reliable onboarding. The two teams collaborate closely to ensure each setup is responsive and aligned with customer needs.

UniCredit highlights the ease and consistency of working with Atlar—especially compared to more fragmented integration experiences. The result is a repeatable, low-friction process for banks, tech companies, and finance teams alike.

“When it comes to connecting into our cash management channels, Atlar stands out for their professionalism and seamless execution. From our side, there’s nothing we would change," said Susann Kubanke, Cash Management Expert at UniCredit.

Operating in 17 countries, UniCredit is investing heavily in its tech-sector services. Its Berlin-based team of specialists brings deep expertise and a pragmatic, hands-on approach to working with venture-backed and scaling companies.

Atlar complements this with a unique approach to bank connectivity. All integrations are built and managed in-house using the best method available—while handling 100% of the technical implementation, working directly with banks like UniCredit to deliver a seamless, fully managed experience. As a result, client EBICS connections have been set up via Atlar in just a matter of weeks—supporting reconciliation and payment runs via the ERP or Atlar's treasury system.

“This collaboration is a great example of what’s possible when banks and fintechs work in sync. We’re proud to be UniCredit’s go-to integration partner for tech clients, helping companies like Forto get connected without the usual friction," said Jakob Berglund, Head of Partnerships at Atlar.
Founded in 2016, today Forto has 18 offices across Europe and Asia.

Forto: Global scale, streamlined treasury

Forto is a global logistics platform rethinking supply chains with a digital-first model. With operations across Europe and Asia, Forto needed a connected treasury setup that could scale with them.

Through Atlar, Forto connects to multiple banking partners—including UniCredit—to manage cash, payments, and reporting across several legal entities. A native integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central automates payment runs and reconciliation.

The result: full cash visibility, faster cash positioning, and improved forecasting. Automation has significantly reduced manual overhead, enabling Forto’s treasury team to focus on strategic initiatives.

“With Atlar and UniCredit, we’ve set up a robust and highly automated treasury process that supports our growth and gives us full control. The integration was seamless and let us focus on what really matters—managing the business," said Emmanouela Psaraki, Senior Treasury Manager at Forto.
