Through this collaboration, NEC APAC and TASConnect will provide organizations with powerful real-time analytics tools, together with TASConnect’s comprehensive working capital management platform-as-a-service to make informed decisions, thereby enhancing financial efficiency. This partnership represents a powerful synergy between both organizations, united by a shared vision of transforming financial management practices.
Through NEC Financial Insights
One of the core components of this technology tool supported by NEC APAC is a single-window visualisation of crucial financial health metrics, enabling organizations to gain real-time insights into their organization’s financial performance. Additionally, key decision makers can set key performance indicators (KPIs) related to working capital and other vital financial metrics. Performance against these KPIs can then be accurately tracked and measured.
Furthermore, organizations will have the ability to compare their organization’s financial performance against industry benchmarks, facilitating a deeper understanding of their competitive standing. In-depth diagnostics and root cause analysis tools are also incorporated, assisting decision makers in identifying the underlying factors influencing their financial health. Most importantly, organizations will receive actionable recommendations tailored to each organization’s unique situation, facilitating the improvement of financial metrics and overall operational efficiency.
Through TASConnect: Enhancing Working Capital Management
TASConnect enhances scalability, efficiency and transparency of enterprise value chain finance programs, particularly in accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR). Organizations can realise a scalable and seamless expansion in their finance programs, which is achieved through better access to diversified liquidity sources, connection to multi-parties, better value chain data analytics and the automation of complex workflows.
TASConnect’s platform also enables improved yields of trapped or idle treasury c*** – a critical aspect of working capital management. By optimizing idle c***, organizations can achieve enhanced working capital cycles and drive efficiencies in their financial operations.
NEC Financial Insights capabilities, together with TASConnect’s enhanced working capital solutions offered on its cloud-based platform-as-a-service, promises to be a game-changer for organizations seeking to unlock sustainable economic value in their finance and treasury functions.
