Sidetrade for
Manufacturing:
Building customer revenue and improving cashflow
Trends like manufacturing 4.0, IoT and 3D printing have dominated investment in the sector, with much less focus on back office IT systems. A strong understanding of inventory and supply chain is critical to the sector, but this can come at the expense of real understanding of the business drivers, buying habits and profitability of their customer base. Despite the critical importance of working capital in such an asset-intensive sector, manufacturers often lack visibility across billing and credit management which can significantly impact cashflow. Adoption of AI also tends to be low, particularly in the back office.
