Optimizing cash flow is essential during both good times as well as economic downturns. Organizations need full visibility and control over payables in order to maintain or extend DPO, manage cash and maximize discount opportunities – all while maintaining strong relationships with suppliers. This is no small task, but innovative solutions are providing new and better ways to manage cash and improve control and visibility:

Attend this webinar to learn how to achieve working capital 20/20 by:

• Establishing and enforcing best practice term policies
• Maintaining or extending days payable outstanding (DPO) with P-card and supply chain finance
• Maximizing discount opportunities with improved spend segmentation and advanced discount programs
• Removing risk from your supply chain with dynamic discounting and receivables financing

This is an IAPP qualifying continuing education activity.
