KLEAR Inc. Partners with CakeBoxx Technologies to Transform Supply Chain Finance for Energy, Electrification & Defense

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The KLEAR platform is designed to optimize working capital and unlock cash flow for small to medium-sized enterprises as they improve financial planning and analysis across their supply chains for their global multinational customers. KLEAR has teamed up with CakeBoxx Technologies, an industry leader in sustainable, specialized transport and storage solutions for high-value, high-consequence cargo to improve vital cash conversion cycles in the most critical and innovative supply chains.

By synchronizing innovations in physical and financial supply chains, KLEAR unlocks trapped value in supply chains for CFOs and CEOs across the Energy, Electrification, Aerospace and Defense sectors. Today, operations and logistics professionals rely on CakeBoxx to facilitate the safe, secure, and efficient transport and storage of high-value, mission-critical cargo around the world through its revolutionary container and platform solutions and CFOs and Treasury professionals rely on KLEAR to do the same with their global working capital. CakeBoxx has a proven track record for delivering revolutionary transportation solutions for hazardous and sensitive cargo, including specialized shipping containers and platforms for the aerospace and defense, energy and medical industries, among others and KLEAR has a proven track record of managing investor capital, payments, collections and treasury in over 20 countries and multiple currencies ranging from the United States and Germany to Vietnam and Kenya.

From KLEAR CEO, Chris Hale: “Our most important global companies rely on small to medium enterprises to deliver supply chain innovations that improve visibility, security and preserve value. When companies find an innovation like a CakeBoxx they want it everywhere, all at once. This is exactly what an innovative CEO wants, but it puts their CFOs under tremendous pressure to scale cash management, treasury management and working capital operations for financial planning and cash flow optimization—especially difficult when their customers’ CFOs are stretching DPO (Days Payable Outstanding), while simultaneously attempting to improve their cash conversion cycles and managing risk. To balance these competing priorities, financial supply chains need to be more agile, responsive and adaptive than their physical counterparts. KLEAR makes this possible and helps innovators like CakeBoxx better serve the global brands leading our national security, energy transformation and electrification.”

CakeBoxx CEO, Daine Eisold, adds: “KLEAR is an incredible asset to our financial management profile – enabling our working capital planning, shortening our cash conversion cycle and substantially improving our downstream delivery commitments. This filters right through to our customer confidence, satisfaction and growth. Chris Hale and Catherine Nomura are phenomenal pros, further enhancing the effectiveness of the KLEAR platform and ensuring our success as partners in the platform.”

The KLEAR platform, launched in 2021, coordinates AR/AP, cash conversion, and working capital optimization for innovative companies serving enterprise customers. Data becomes standardized, processes become normalized and global scale becomes possible.
