• Teams across the organization may be working in siloes with conflicting objectives.
• Manual working capital optimization and payment processes make it challenging to achieve value.
• Even the best working capital program will fail to deliver value if suppliers do not adopt our processes and systems.
• Align processes and goals to get the most value out of working capital and payment programs.
• Digitize these processes to make it easy to run a modern working capital program
• Make driving supplier adoption a key goal of our working capital programs. Use KPIs and peer benchmarks to monitor adoption and operational efficiency, and drive ongoing improvements.
