The global supply chain market is growing exponentially, whilst estimates vary, global SCF volumes have risen by 21% year-on-year to US$2,184bn and funds in use are up by 20% YoY to US$858bn, according to a market leading report. The benefits of SCF programmes are clear, enabling treasurers to effectively create and strengthen supply chains and finance suppliers without the need to allocate millions of dollars of working capital, so optimising cash flow, and improving internal liquidity. With advanced SCF technologies that enable visibility into supplier invoices and payments, treasurers can stay in control of payment terms and drive efficiency in cash conversion cycles and working capital ratios. In this session treasurers discuss the optimal SCF set up, including negotiating with bank funders and suppliers, as well as SCF platform and technology providers, and disclosure and reporting requirements, to create a successful SCF program and a win-win for buyers and suppliers.
Treasurers look to banking partners to provide not just the solid staples of sound bank account management and cash management services, but also to collaborate and innovate to deliver treasury products and services that meet their evolving needs in constantly changing markets. To achieve this, banking partners are evolving services to provide real-time visibility for treasurers into their cash positions, to enable better forecasting and liquidity and working capital planning. A central focus currently is on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, to analyze historical data and trends to aid treasurers in cash flow projections and connecting treasury data systems to bank portals to enable real time data flow. Banking partners are also helping treasurers automate FX risk management processes, and liquidity management processes, to create a dashboard of cash and liquidity positions. Treasurers and banking partners together discuss how they work to innovate and collaborate, including leveraging AI and automation, to improve treasury services.
