Volkswagen's truck division TRATON has picked Ripple Treasury to replace roughly 20 separate Excel spreadsheets with one centralized forecasting system. The deal, finalized in August 2026, ranks among Ripple Treasury's highest-profile enterprise wins since Ripple bought the platform, then called GTreasury, for $1 billion in late 2025.
TRATON Group, the commercial vehicle arm of Volkswagen that owns Scania, MAN, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus, has chosen Ripple Treasury as its new forecasting management platform. The switch swaps a patchwork of about 20 Excel templates for a single system built for automated data collection and a centralized audit trail.
Replacing spreadsheets at a €44.05 billion company
TRATON pulled in more than €40 billion in revenue in 2024, and its updated 2025 revenue figure stands at €44.05 billion. Despite that scale, the company's treasury team had relied on manual, spreadsheet-based forecasting before the switch. The deployment will use Ripple Treasury's GSmart feature, an AI-driven analytics layer built for forecasting insights.
According to September 2026 data, GSmart adoption among eligible customers has reached 60% for Risk Insights and 44% for Forecast Insights. Ripple Treasury claims some deployments can go live in as little as 90 days, and the platform currently processes over $100 billion in daily transactions across more than 1,000 businesses in over 40 countries.
Forecasting first, digital assets later
Ripple Treasury's core function is conventional treasury work: cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning, and risk analysis. The TRATON deployment focuses on standardizing forecasting and automating processes, not on tokenization or crypto integration. The platform does also support digital asset capabilities, and Ripple has built infrastructure meant to bridge traditional finance with crypto-native tools when clients are ready to use them.
The shift toward unified treasury platforms has accelerated, driven partly by regulatory pressure for better financial controls and partly by the availability of AI-powered analytics. Ripple Treasury competes with established players including Kyriba, ION Treasury, and FIS, and it positions its combination of conventional treasury management with digital asset support as its point of difference.
