Managing working capital is a major component of managing liquidity. Accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable are three areas of the cash conversion cycle (CCC) that have a significant impact on liquidity. All great organizations are intentional in their management of working capital and liquidity, and optimization of the CCC is a key driver to success in managing working capital effectively. Tools that drive optimization and those that provide additional liquidity options (e.g., supply chain finance, dynamic discounting) help companies improve their performance and liquidity.

How can a fintech or bank provide a more efficient process in either the order-to-collect (O2C) or the procure-to-pay (P2P) side of the cash conversion cycle? How important are efficiency, scalability, and liquidity to different organizations? Can some of these be solved at the same time? Certainly, access to liquidity can come from credit facilities and debt instruments. How are some providers helping companies leverage the CCC? How can the use of funds from a 3rd party change the calculus for liquidity availability and cost?

Increasing globalization means that more companies are doing more of their business in more countries using more currencies.
