The Financial value chain : Financial and Physical supply chain

Putting together the pieces of the financial puzzle can be quite daunting. The Financial Supply Chain is increasingly recognised as an area offering significant potential for generating bottom-line improvements and creating competitive advantage. Many studies today suggest that, “a typical billion-dollar company spends between 25-30 million USD annually for unnecessary working capital and inefficient processing functions because they lack visibility into the Financial Supply Chain and don’t recognise its connection to the physical supply chain.” This can equate to literally billions of dollars wasted across the global supply chain.
