The Future of the Financial Supply Chain
Come have a drink on us! Network with some of your executive peers along with Tradeshift & Bristlecone and discuss how global companies are transforming their supply chains by leveraging agile, innovative technologies with future proof platforms and apps to become an adaptive enterprise.
Supply chains are under tremendous pressure. Often overlooked is the interdependence between the physical supply chain and the financial supply chain and its impact on the working capital of buyers and suppliers. According to a recent analyst report, the leading 2,000 US & European companies have up to US $1.2T of cash unnecessarily tied up, which is equivalent to nearly 7% of their combined sales. In other words, for every US $1B in sales, the opportunity for working capital improvement is, on average, US $70m.
Featuring Ron Volpe, Global Vice President Apps Business Development & Chief Supply Chain Evangelist at Tradeshift, who leads the charge for transforming financial supply chains globally.
Some key insights will be how to leverage a global open platform along with apps that empower dynamic discounting, supply chain finance and virtual card payments to optimize payables working capital and have all spend under management.
In addition, you will gain a great perspective from Saroj Tripathi, Vice President Field Operations NA and ANZ at Bristlecone, a leading global consulting firm on how global companies are transforming their supply chains to drive cost savings, frictionless efficiencies and enhancing key supplier relationships.
