      In today’s world of rising uncertainty, complex supply chains, and high interest rates, managing working capital is no longer just a finance concern; it’s a business-critical capability. This webinar brings together strategic insights and cutting-edge technology to help unlock the full potential of your working capital.

      We’ll start with insights from KPMG. We will break down the fundamentals of working capital, what it is, why it matters, and how optimizing it improves both financial stability and operational efficiency.

      Then we’ll hear from Hakio, a Danish tech company changing the way fashion brands plan and manage inventory. With market conditions fundamentally changing and product life cycles getting shorter, brands take on more and more financial risk to keep up with demand. Hakio will demonstrate how AI-powered demand forecasting and planning helps reduce the amount of capital locked in inventory by an average of 17%, while improving product availability and decision-making.

      Join us when we go through practical strategies that make your business more agile, efficient, and financially resilient - and learn how smarter planning drives better cash flow, leaner operations, and faster reactions to market change.

      • A clear understanding of the core components of working capital: receivables, payables, and inventory
      • Why optimizing working capital is crucial in today's economic environment
