Generate Cash Flow – Come Rain or Shine

Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Businesses have been scrambling to manage the multi-dimensional impacts of the pandemic – with CFOs and teams working round the clock to better manage liquidity and stabilize the business. Today, freeing up cash trapped across receivables, payables and inventories is a critical priority to survive, revive and thrive.

Optimizing working capital will release the much-needed cash to fund expansion and growth while building agility and resilience. However, data and functional silos, non-standardized processes, limited access to real-time insights and inadequate adoption of digital and analytics are hampering organizations’ efforts.

WNS Working Capital Analytics is a powerful, flexible cloud-based solution to increment cash flow and improve businesses’ working capital performance. Through what-if simulations and prescriptive analytics it enables enhanced decision-making and identifies opportunities to unlock cash and boost the bottom line.
