The impact of COVID-19 has been felt by businesses right across the world. Bringing with it economic uncertainty, unprecedented business challenges and major disruption. For supply chains in particular, the events of 2020-2021 have shone a harsh spotlight on supply chain inefficiency, highlighting just how robust and resilient supply chains actually are, or as was the case for many, just how robust and resilient they aren’t. Having weathered the storms of the last 12 – 18 months, the majority of businesses now have their sights firmly set on the future, taking the lessons learned during the pandemic and focussing on how best to manage the supply chain in a post-pandemic world.

While the economic ramifications of Covid have been felt far and wide, the full extent of the pandemic on businesses is yet to be realised. The last twelve months have, in the main, seen businesses focus on identifying risk, protecting employees and in some cases, spinning up new business models to compensate for lost revenue. There has been a great deal of noise around visibility and agility as key levers for survival, and cashflow has come under the spotlight as a major lever. Within this guide, we provide ten steps to help get your cashflow back on course.
