The Great Digital Transformation for Manufacturing Finance
Digitization of the manufacturing finance space in the United States has produced incredible benefits. Super-efficient mass production of parts, excellent cross-team collaboration and real-time data access for all key stakeholders are among the many wins that have generated real value.
For example, wide-scale digitization has enabled demand-focused and highly responsive supply chains that are both automated and cost-effective. As a real-time response to supply demand, the digitized supply chain has increased profits, shortened lead times, and provided unparalleled visibility for all stakeholders. Digitization has completely transformed the supply chain world.
Gradually, this digital revolution is gaining traction across finance departments who realize that what worked so well for manufacturing solutions will also work for their cash flow operations.

In the business world, it’s all about cash flow. Finance leaders of manufacturing organizations need to have a clear sense of how current and future balances and cash flows are looking, to better manage the money. But the current way of doing things is laborious and time-consuming.
Many businesses extract balances from bank statements, requesting various subsidiaries for monthly, quarterly or annual balance reports. This data is then collated in spreadsheets by staff who no doubt wish they were doing something more rewarding.
Automated Cash Management
Smart cash management software is the way forward for payment reconciliation. Implementing end-to-end intelligent automation provides clarity on actual and future cash balances and flows. It provides financial leaders with what they need: a highly automated process that is operationally fast and provides real-time data, quickly.
