5 Reasons AP Departments Should Pay Attention to Inflation Webinar

Controlled and subtle inflation can be a sign of a strong economy—but when inflation gets out of hand, everyone is impacted. While B2C companies work overtime ensuring they’re prepared for an inflationary economy, B2B companies that ignore the impact of inflation are doing themselves a disservice.

This webinar is an expert-led roundtable discussion about inflation and the effect it has on Accounts Payable and business payments. After watching this webinar, you’ll be able to identify the five ways inflation impacts your Accounts Payable departments and will walk away with a better understanding of:

• How Accounts Payable can keep suppliers happy during an inflationary economy while also ensuring cash flow is optimized and payments are timely
• What you should keep your eyes on regarding inflation, the economy, and the future
• How Accounts Payable automation technology can help
