Podcasts about Supply chain finance

Steering a course around the complexities of treasury and cash flow in today's dynamic global environment can feel like being in the wheelhouse without an up-to-date sea chart – and treasurers face the ongoing challenge of adapting to these conditions. Here, in the third in a series of TMI guest columns written by leading experts from ING Transaction Services, Tibor Bartels, Head Transaction Services ING Americas, combines perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic. He offers insights into the evolving demands on treasurers, the role of technology, and the critical need for banking partners to bridge regional and global operations.

Koaloo.Fi's online supplier financing solution is aimed at adding profitability and performance to the list of benefits afforded by ESG-enabled trade.

Supply chains are critical to the global economy and recent events have demonstrated the need to minimise disruption and keep funds – as well as goods – moving. By allowing financial institutions to step into the payment cycle, supply chain finance gives corporate treasurers a useful tool to optimise their working capital, especially when times are unpredictable.

As elections reshaped the global economy in 2024, corporate treasurers are finding themselves having to navigate shifting trade policies, currency volatility, regulatory changes, and technological disruption. Agility, resilience, and strategic foresight will be the key to success in 2025 and beyond.

Contemporary treasurers face rising FX volatility, interest rate uncertainty, and geopolitical disruptions. How can they adapt? Eleanor Hill (TMI) speaks with Rahul Badhwar (HSBC) and Volkan Benihasim (HSBC) about building resilience, improving forecasting, and leveraging AI. Our panel also explore liquidity shifts, supply chain realignment, and strategies for managing risk in an unpredictable world.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Micki Vandeloo, president of Lakeview Consulting, to explore a critical but often overlooked funding opportunity: grants for manufacturers. Many manufacturing firms are unaware of the substantial funding available to support sustainability initiatives, equipment upgrades, and workforce training. Micki sheds light on how businesses can access these funds and avoid leaving money on the table.We discuss:The stark lack of awareness among manufacturers about available grants.Key differences between grants, subsidies, tax credits, and loans.How sustainability-related grants are growing in prominence, particularly for energy efficiency, renewables, and supply chain reshoring.Why state-level grants are often easier to secure than federal ones.The impact of changing political administrations on grant availability and funding priorities.With sustainability mandates increasing and businesses under pressure to decarbonise, grants provide a strategic way to offset investment costs. If your company is looking to adopt cleaner technologies, improve efficiency, or expand production, now is the time to explore these funding opportunities before policies shift.Find out how to navigate the complex grant landscape and ensure your business isn't missing out.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Eleanor Hill (TMI) is joined by Ole Matthiessen (Deutsche Bank) to discuss the issues that are top of mind for corporate treasurers in the Asia Pacific region, and which macroeconomic factors are at play.

And, despite the major news events that have the potential to disrupt trade, Singh and Tan elaborate on the fundamentals that always remain.

Blockchain technology, much like its early application in cryptocurrencies, is hailed as a revolutionary force poised to disrupt traditional systems in this case, supply chain finance. Just as Bitcoin threw the traditional banking model into disarray by eliminating intermediaries and offering decentralized, peer-to-peer transactions, blockchain is poised to revolutionize supply chains. Its promise lies in greater transparency, efficiency, and automation. But, just as crypto's journey has shown, the road from innovation to widespread adoption is rarely straightforward. Challenges like regulatory uncertainty, integration hurdles, and resistance from established players still loom large. The excitement around blockchain's potential to transform supply chain finance is real but so too are the obstacles that lie ahead. Balancing Transparency with Privacy Transparency is blockchain's hallmark, touted as a tool to reduce fraud and streamline processes. But in industries where proprietary information like pricing structures or supplier identities must be closely guarded, transparency can become a liability. Think about the pharmaceutical industry, where sharing sensitive pricing or formulation data could easily compromise competitive advantage. Permissioned blockchains offer a middle ground, allowing access to authorized participants while keeping sensitive details private. However, implementing these systems across multiple stakeholders with differing needs and access levels isn't just about adding new tech it's a logistical challenge that demands careful coordination. Smart Contracts: Not a One-Size-Fits-All Solution Picture this: goods arrive at their destination, and a smart contract instantly triggers payment. No emails, no back-and-forth negotiations, no delays. It's automated, seamless, and efficient until it's not. While a Deloitte reports that smart contracts can reduce transaction times by 80% and cut operational costs by 30%, these benefits are limited to simple, binary transactions. When things go awry maybe the goods don't meet quality standards or delivery is late the rigidity of smart contracts becomes apparent. Not every aspect of supply chain finance can be boiled down to if X happens, then Y triggers. Human oversight, with all its judgment calls, still plays a vital role in resolving complex disputes. Overcoming Barriers to Adoption Now let's talk about small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Blockchain has been hailed as the great equalizer, giving smaller players access to the same financial tools as their larger counterparts. But for SMEs, the reality is far more nuanced. According to the World Economic Forum, only 1% of SMEs globally are using blockchain. Why? The upfront costs are daunting. For a small agricultural supplier in Kenya or a boutique clothing manufacturer in Italy, implementing blockchain requires capital for infrastructure upgrades, new technology, and skilled personnel resources that are already stretched thin. Government grants and industry consortiums could help, but without a concerted effort to lower these entry barriers, many SMEs will remain on the outside looking in. Regulatory: The Elephant in the Room Blockchain's decentralized nature has been its biggest strength, but also its biggest headache when it comes to regulation. Different industries whether it's food, pharmaceuticals, or finance have strict compliance rules. The lack of unified global standards for blockchain use creates a regulatory minefield. Take the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), for instance. Blockchain's immutable ledger directly clashes with GDPR's strict rules on data privacy and the right to be forgotten. It's a fundamental misalignment that needs to be addressed before blockchain can become mainstream in these industries. Navigating these regulations will take collaboration not just between businesses, but between governments and tech innovators. Sure, blockchain promises to cut out ...

"[I]t's all about free cash flows and moving liquidity across the economy." "Cultural fit is one of the number one success indicators of an M&A transaction." "I think someone will write a book at some point about this M&A transaction because it has been successful on all fronts." "Taulia is managed independently and autonomously, which is not maybe a standard setup."(23:28) On transitioning from a VC-backed board to a board of a fully-owned subsidiary of SAP. Going from private to public: "[T]he first advantage is that we don't have to do capital raise anymore if we wanted to invest in some areas. If we need some capital, we have access to a line of credit that SAP can provide." "If I was spending 20% of my time on investors, capital raise, and so forth in the the past.

"I think that the best companies have built agility in their financial architecture to really adjust their business profile based on what the market can cope with."(44:48) On director education for board members, particularly venture-backed companies. "I would encourage VCs to recommend [not mandate] their [portfolio] CEOs to go through a training about governance, how to manage a board, how to make the board evolve, how to recruit board members, how to interview board members."(45:39) Books that have greatly influenced his life: Tribal Leadership, by Dave Logan, John King, Halee Fischer-Wright (2008)Good to Great, by Jim Collins (2001)Sports magazines and newspapers(46:13) His mentors. (47:37) Quotes that he thinks of often or lives her life by.(50:15) An unusual habit or absurd thing that he loves: cold plunges.(53:13) The person he most admires.Cedric Bru is CEO of Taulia, a fintech provider of working capital management solutions.
