For the first time in a decade, the 1000 largest public companies in the U.S. improved performance of all three major working capital components last year – they managed inventory more effectively, collected from customers faster, and took longer to pay suppliers, according to the 2022 Working Capital Survey from The+Hackett+Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT). But despite this triple improvement, the overall working capital improvement opportunity increased substantially.
