Treasurers are vital in transportation and logistics companies, managing liquidity and influencing financial health. But how often do companies underuse their expertise due to limited interdepartmental influence?
Treasurers in this sector face barriers, including limited collaboration opportunities and a lack of understanding of their role. These barriers prevent them from fully contributing to strategic decisions. The consequences? Reduced cash flow predictability and missed opportunities for financial optimization.
In the latest PYMNTS Intelligence report, “The Impact of Misunderstood Treasurers in the Transportation Sector,” data shows that 33% of department heads see treasurers as highly influential, highlighting a disconnect. Furthermore, 49% of transportation department heads report that greater interdepartmental collaboration is needed — the highest of any surveyed sector. These challenges restrict treasurers’ ability to drive financial stability and operational improvements.
