Supply Chain Finance Program

Vendor payment obligations often constrain financial flexibility. But you can access more working capital – if you optimize the way you plan, prioritize, and negotiate your supply chain payment terms. By combining the right banking relationships, technology and vendor communications, an appropriate Supply Chain Finance program can provide the cash availability and payment terms flexibility you need to improve your working capital position while satisfying your obligations.​

Unfortunately, disparate bank products, technologies, and even suppliers can create confusion where clarity is key. Actualize Consulting Supply Chain Finance Advisory creates a customized plan built upon the technology you need, a cost-efficient banking structure, and a vendor education plan that supports and even increases supplier adoption.
