RISK & RESILIENCE
Q: WHAT ARE THE MOST PROMISING USE CASES FOR EMBEDDED FINANCE THAT IMPROVE SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING? Embedding finance and payments into critical procurement and ERP systems gives businesses real-time visibility into spend, cash flow and supplier activity – reducing operational risk and enabling faster, data-driven decisions that prevent disruptions before they occur. Accelerating and securing payments by embedding virtual cards into specific workflows and ERPs helps suppliers get paid as soon as invoices are approved, reducing liquidity risk across the chain. Unique, single-use card numbers and configurable controls( e. g., spend limits, MCC blocks) also significantly lower fraud and cybersecurity exposure.
