Optimize your inventory, unlock your capital

SAP Taulia Inventory Finance empowers your business to build a resilient, asset-light supply chain, ensuring you have the materials you need, exactly when you need them, without trapping cash on your balance sheet.

A just-in-time, asset-light model

In a world of supply chain disruptions and unpredictable demand, managing inventory is a critical balancing act.

Unlock working capital & improve cash flow
Free up significant cash flow by moving inventory off your balance sheet. Our solution allows you to transition to an asset-light model, releasing capital tied up in raw materials and finished goods so you can invest in growth and other strategic priorities.

Build a resilient, just-in-time supply chain
Overcome supply chain volatility and align inventory perfectly with production demand. Our solution enables inventory to be held in-transit or at a nearby location for just-in-time (JIT) delivery, reducing lead times and protecting your operations from costly disruptions.

Assure supply & ensure operational continuity
Mitigate the risk of stockouts and prevent operational standstills. By establishing buffer stocks of key components near your facilities, our solution provides the resiliency needed to ensure production continues smoothly, even during periods of supply uncertainty.

Lower carrying costs & optimize your balance sheet

Dramatically reduce the expenses and balance sheet impact of holding inventory. By keeping stock off your books until the moment it’s needed for production, our Inventory Finance solution lowers carrying costs, preserves cash, and improves overall financial efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

SAP Taulia’s Inventory solution goes beyond simple management by physically taking ownership of goods—whether they are in transit or held at a nearby location—until you are ready to use them. This Just-in-Time (JIT) approach keeps inventory off your balance sheet, directly improving your Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO). By eliminating the financial trade-off between holding safety stock and preserving capital, you free up trapped cash to reinvest in growth and profitability.

Stockouts often occur when businesses limit inventory purchases to preserve cash. SAP Taulia removes this constraint by enabling you to secure critical inventory in advance without the immediate liquidity drain. By facilitating the holding of buffer stock near your production facilities, our solution builds a resilient supply chain capable of withstanding global disruptions, shortages, and demand spikes. This ensures you can always fill orders and maintain customer trust without over-extending your finances.

Production delays are frequently caused by the long lead times and uncertainties associated with purchasing from overseas suppliers. SAP Taulia mitigates this risk by ensuring the availability of necessary raw materials close to your point of use, regardless of global shipping volatility. This gives you the operational flexibility to maintain consistent production schedules and avoid costly bottlenecks, all while continuing to leverage cost-efficient overseas sourcing.

You should use inventory financing when you need to alleviate the liquidity strains of purchasing from overseas suppliers or when you have significant cash trapped in your supply chain (high DIO). It is the ideal solution for CFOs and Treasurers looking to build a resilient supply chain without sacrificing balance sheet health. Additionally, if you are looking for a holistic approach, SAP Taulia is the only provider offering inventory financing as part of a powerful Working Capital suite, allowing you to optimize every facet of your cash conversion cycle alongside Payables and Receivables.
