## Resource

In this episode, Craig Jeffery speaks with Paul Galloway of Strategic Treasurer about supply chain finance and the cash conversion cycle as part of the 2026 Analyst Report series. They define key concepts such as working capital, days sales outstanding, and inventory cycles, then explore solutions like procure-to-pay, order-to-collect, reverse factoring, and dynamic discounting. The discussion highlights how automation, APIs, and emerging technologies like AI and blockchain are improving efficiency, visibility, and working capital optimization, while also addressing risks such as compliance challenges and supply chain disruption. 2026 Treasury Technology Analyst Report: https://strategictreasurer.com/analyst-report-2026
