Putting together the pieces of the financial puzzle can be quitedaunting. The Financial Supply Chain is increasingly recognised as anarea offering significant potential for generating bottom-lineimprovements and creating competitive advantage. Many studies todaysuggest that, "a typical billion-dollar company spends between 25-30million USD annually for unnecessary working capital and inefficientprocessing functions because they lack visibility into the FinancialSupply Chain and don't recognise its connection to the physical supplychain." This can equate to literally billions of dollars wasted acrossthe global supply chain.
