CS Lucas: The Treasury and Investment Solutions for Corporate Treasurers
Established in 1996, the CS Lucas system has gone through numerous technological iterations to provide clients with a cost effective and rapid means to simplify corporate finance and investment operations. Seamlessly integrating ERP, SWIFT, e-banking, trading platform, and price feed with a user-friendly interface, it is trusted by clients who increasingly face challenges in the areas of cash, investment, and liability management as their businesses expand across sectors and geography.
“Clients benefit from the system’s accurate analytics and the integrity of its treasury reporting. With a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for treasurers to track and monitor, users across the world can now share information readily and seamlessly,” affirms Chee Seong Tan, Founder and CEO of CS Lucas.
With a unique history spanning over 20 years, CS Lucas delivers its 360-degree view of corporate treasury with a coveted mix of maturity, reliability, excellence, and state-of-the-art technology. Assimilating many global treasury best practices into its core functionality, its users span worldwide from the Americas to Europe, Asia, and Australia. Testament to the system’s superiority is its primarily non-banking clientele, comprising public sector agencies with uncompromising requirements for compliance and accountability, as well as blue-chip multinational enterprises with global users that need to be connected simultaneously in real time.
In Singapore and the UK, public sector organisations rely on CS Lucas’ quick and reliable forecasts to help them make funding and investment decisions that comply with risk management policies. For jurisdictions like Singapore which require public sector systems to be separated physically from the Internet, an on-premise version of CS Lucas allows for effective implementation.
Increasingly, enterprise clients from recent engagement such as Singapore’s SMRT (a multi-modal land transport provider) are also using the system’s integration with SWIFT and e-banking platforms to deliver real-time visibility of cash as their operations expand across sectors and geography.

Matching its international reach with a growing global presence, CS Lucas currently has its design and innovation operations based in Singapore and the UK, with development and critical support functions managed in India and Manila. A hallmark of the system is its intuitive design with rich documentation and telephone/onsite support which works to smoothen adoption and global roll out.
As one of the first TMS vendors to adopt multi-tenanted web design harnessing key learnings from the dot-com era, the company successfully leverages technology to deliver an innovative system that can be rolled out extremely rapidly while driving down ownership costs. Drawing on their roots as advisors for treasury management operations and accounting to constantly improve system functionalities and user experience, CS Lucas partners IBM closely to ensure reliability and scalability in their technology platform.
“We deliver quality solutions for all our clients to support the needs of their underlying core business operations. They need to engage in treasury and investment activities to support these business activities on a global basis, and CS Lucas helps them do all these with ease,” concludes Tan.
With a clear roadmap ahead, CS Lucas has started rolling out in UK public sector organisations with its partner Arlingclose Limited. Support presence in the U.S. and Australia are also in the pipeline.
