Operating Within a Supply Chain: A Virtuous Cycle That Benefits the Entire System

Over 4 million companies operate in Italy, forming an entrepreneurial fabric that is highly fragmented yet interconnected. This distinctive approach makes it an ideal environment for the development of supply chains, where geographical proximity and specialisation generate competitive advantages.

Supply Chain Finance solutions help businesses to manage liquidity in a more advanced manner, improve access to credit by stabilising cash flows, optimise payment terms and, above all, strengthen relationships between clients and suppliers.

Thinking in terms of Supply Chain Finance is a visionary choice. The awareness and culture surrounding such solutions nurture a virtuous cycle that benefits the entire system and fosters an understanding of how operating within a supply chain is essential for generating efficiency, collaboration, supply continuity, innovation, and territorial development.

Valentina Mazzitelli, Head of Factoring and Leasing for the Banca dei Territori Division at Intesa Sanpaolo, and Alessio Ronchini, a researcher at the Supply Chain Finance Observatory of the Politecnico di Milano, discuss financial management solutions and tools that support the competitiveness of Italian businesses in an increasingly complex business environment.

A dialogue full of insights to understand how Italian companies operating within a supply chain can optimise costs, improve quality and speed of market response, and innovate collaboratively.
