At NEC, we support CFOs and finance teams in transforming their roles from reactive scorekeepers to strategic foresight leaders.

Our Supply Chain Financing solution is purpose-built to optimize working capital, enhance liquidity, mitigate financial risk, achieve ESG and sustainability goals and strengthen collaboration across your entire supply chain ecosystem—empowering finance leaders to drive resilience and value creation.
"Designed to transform financial management practices"
Overview
CFOs face new challenges every day, including growing geopolitical risks, managing working capital and liquidity, and meeting rising ESG expectations, to name a few. Our solution leverages advanced analytics and AI/ML technologies—such as generative AI and agentic AI—to help CFOs navigate these complexities with greater confidence. It provides capabilities to measure, monitor, predict, and forecast business performance KPIs. Additionally, it supports the management and improvement of working capital, liquidity, and supply chain resilience through the adoption of supply chain financing solutions.
Challenges
Creating Impact through Insights : Helping CFOs Lead with Confidence
CFOs and their organizations are facing a range of critical challenges. Many companies lack a centralized solution that connects all financial systems and databases, resulting in limited real-time visibility into working capital and cash flow. Teams still rely heavily on manual efforts to generate reports, which are often prone to errors and inefficiencies. The absence of predictive and forecasting capabilities further impedes strategic decision-making.
Current reporting tools are typically basic and fail to identify performance gaps effectively. Supply chain financing processes remain slow and manual, while existing financing programs often lack scalability and multi-bank connectivity—limiting their ability to support dynamic and growing business needs
Supply Chain Financing: A CFO’s Strategic Lever for Resilience, Liquidity, and ESG
In today’s dynamic global landscape, CFOs are uniquely positioned to turn challenges—such as geopolitical shifts, climate-related events, and evolving trade policies—into opportunities for innovation and growth.
By proactively addressing cost pressures, delivery uncertainties, and margin impacts, they can build stronger, more agile supply chains. Minimize working capital, liquidity, and supply chain risks for their supply chain partners.
Increase ESG and Sustainability (Scope 3) adoption across supply chain ecosystems.
Supply Chain Finance helps CFOs strengthen financial and operational resilience.

Cases
Helping our Business Partner to Digitize Supply Chain Financing for Thai SMEs
Business Challenge / Opportunity
Financial institutions in ASEAN countries like Thailand, particularly those serving SMEs, face significant challenges in growing the business beyond the metro cities. Traditional financing methods are often slow, manual, and lack scalability. Many SMEs struggle to access loans from conventional financial institutions due to limited credit history or collateral, despite having strong sales performance. Additionally, existing supply chain financing processes are fragmented, with limited real-time visibility and minimal automation, making it difficult to support dynamic business needs and economic growth.
Solution
In response to these challenges, NEC Corporation Thailand and AIRA Factoring Public Company Limited formed a strategic partnership following their MOU in May 2024. Together, they launched a Digital Supply Chain Financing Platform powered by:
- TASConnect, a solution developed by SCV Research and Development PTE. LTD.
- NEC’s advanced digital capabilities and ICT expertise.
This platform integrates financial systems to streamline credit management, automate supply chain financing processes, and enhance real-time visibility into cash flow and working capital. The partnership also includes targeted client acquisition strategies to expand market reach and identify new business opportunities.
Benefits of Implementing Supply Chain Financing Solution
- Increased Credit Disbursement: AIRA Factoring projects growth in annual credit disbursement using the new digital supply chain financing platform
- Improved Liquidity for SMEs: By digitizing credit processes and using invoices as proof of sales, SMEs gain easier access to financing, even without traditional collateral.
- Operational Efficiency: Automation reduces manual errors and accelerates reporting and financing workflows.
- Stronger Supplier Relationships: Enhanced visibility and faster funding improve trust and collaboration across the supply chain.
- Scalability and Connectivity: The platform supports multi-bank integration, enabling broader financial access and flexibility.
