In the testing economic climate, corporates need finanical solutions that will enable them to maintain a financially and physically resilient supply chain. With the fall of international import and export barriers and the buyer-led shift from letters of credit to open account trading, the introduction of automated trade finance solutions is more critical than ever.
With the climate of volatility and a lack of available credit, innovations in working capital solutions are more vital now than ever before.The explosion of interest and investment in trade and supply chain finance products means that cost savings have been made, not through cut-backs, but through streamlining the financial supply chain.
