Actionable points to help ensure liquidity: NEXT 4. Supplier market intelligence for production continuity The pandemic may put suppliers in danger of insolvency or cut off suppliers due to restricted global trade patterns. Accordingly, the liquidity control tower can identify risks to the supply chain related to dependencies on key suppliers and use supplier market intelligence to help identify alternate suppliers that are economically viable from non-affected proximity regions to ensure production continuity. 5. Securing new funding sources The liquidity control tower can help identify and analyze FinTech and non-banking funders including local government initiatives as sources of flexible and cost- effective capital and to link company financing programs with clients’ and vendors’ value chain financing needs. 16 Managing Total Liquidity in Response to the COVID-19 Crisis Copyright © 2020 Accenture.
