A Force of Nature. With a Little AI.

Cash Discount Likelihood (CDL) scoring is a proprietary, machine-learning process developed with the input of Treasury and Finance domain experts that uses predictive analytics to determine the likelihood of a supplier to accept a discount. With the CDL score, apexportal recommends the highest rate that suppliers will accept to maximize discounts captured. With offers on a sliding scale, suppliers also have the flexibility to choose a combination of discount rate and date for their working capital requirements.

  1. Gathers vendor contact information, country, SIC code, discount capture patterns, vendor activity in apexportal, average days to pay and average invoice size from the apexanalytix database of 55 million supplier records.
  2. Combines and matches it with insights on spend from our $25B of proprietary spend data; transactional counts, payment terms and payment behavior; and company age, sales volume, location and industry data.
  3. Conducts machine learning analysis on all the data points to develop a consolidated discount propensity data point: The CDL Score.
