Technology and Trends Impacting Procurement, Account Payable, and Accounts Receivable
We often talk about technology as it impacts our maintenance practices or the trucks themselves, but one of the biggest areas technology can impact your business is in helping to manage the cost of growth. The ability to reduce expenses and optimize working capital via your Procurement, AP, and AR strategies are critical to the success of your business and its future growth. Matt Clark will offer insight into current technology and trends in these areas, how to use them to create a competitive advantage, and what the future holds.
