The way fintech platforms can help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manage their cash flows is nothing short of revolutionary. These platforms can automatically compile transactional data and use artificial intelligence to analyze SMEs’ transaction histories and make accurate forecasts of SMEs’ future cash flows. This data-driven approach empowers SMEs to optimize their working capital and make more informed decisions, mitigating their risk of insolvency.
