Working capital improvement
Unlock liquidity trapped in operations through targeted improvements across inventory, receivables, and payables, achieving fast, measurable impact on cash flow.
Turning operational inefficiencies into free cash flow
Many organizations struggle with rising inventory levels, delayed customer payments, and inefficient supplier terms, which tie up significant capital in day-to-day operations. Despite strong revenue performance, liquidity remains constrained and limits the ability to invest and grow. At the same time, working capital is often managed in silos. Inventory, receivables, and payables are optimized independently, without a unified view on their combined impact on cash flow.
OMMAX addresses this with a structured, data-driven approach to working capital improvement. We analyze operational and financial data across the full cash conversion cycle to identify inefficiencies and quantify liquidity potential. Our experts work closely with you to achieve a clear, prioritized set of actions that unlock cash quickly while maintaining service levels and operational stability.
Rapid, measurable improvements across the cash conversion cycle
A structured sprint to unlock cash within weeks
The OMMAX Working Capital Improvement approach is designed to deliver fast, measurable results through a focused, data-driven sprint.
We begin by establishing full transparency across receivables, payables, and inventory. This includes building a consolidated data foundation and analyzing the current cash conversion cycle, including key drivers such as Days Sales Outstanding, Days Inventory Outstanding, and Days Payables Outstanding.
We then conduct detailed diagnostics across all three areas and identify inefficiencies in payment behavior, inventory management, and process execution, combining data analysis with stakeholder input to uncover root causes. The next step is to define and prioritize improvement opportunities, including both quick wins with immediate impact and structural initiatives that drive long-term performance.
Finally, we quantify the financial impact of each lever and consolidate them into a clear cash improvement model. The result is a prioritized, actionable roadmap that enables rapid cash release and establishes the foundation for continuous optimization.
