Overview of supply chain and supply chain finance solutions

To better understand how supply chain finance optimizes cash flow, businesses first need to master the basic concepts of supply chains and this special financial solution.

A supply chain is a system of closely linked resources, processes, and activities, starting from the stage of supplying raw materials, manufacturing, transporting, and distributing products or services to the final consumer.

What is supply chain finance?

Supply chain finance (SCF) refers to the utilization of financial tools and technology to optimize the management of working capital and liquidity throughout the supply chain operations cycle, from suppliers to distribution networks and end consumers.

Supply chain finance is one of the useful financial solutions for businesses.
