Time is money and you have cash tied to your day-to-day operations.
Finance your growth or strategic development initiatives by releasing cash from your own operations instead of using external financing. We help you to improve your profitability and release cash from the balance sheet by optimizing your working capital.
Working capital optimization is a cross-functional effort of the entire organization. By improving visibility to the key operative processes, waste and delays can be eliminated – may that be shortening lead times, optimizing the inventory levels to better match the demand or extending the time suppliers are paid.
All in all, these actions aim to reduce the time you have money tied to the operations and having the cash in the bank account faster.
Improving cash flow by optimizing working capital is an organization wide cultural transformation that – when executed properly – leads to sustainable results and also enables future improvement of your profitability.
As working capital is the best indicator of a company’s operational effectiveness, it is related to all your key operative processes. Working capital optimization relies on fact based and transparent understanding of the key process drivers and metrics. Hence, allowing your organization to make informed decisions and putting the focus to where it counts.
Optimized processes rely on cross-functional co-operation with silo breaking mentality, improved knowhow and capabilities to respond to challenges. By strengthening the cash culture in your organization you improve the ability to make decisions that takes all perspectives of profitability into account.
At the end of the day, it is the results that count. Systematic optimization of working capital leads to permanent improvement of your cash flow and profitability. Additionally, the improved processes and transparency allow your organization to respond to changes in your business environment in a more flexible manner.
