suppliers would accept a discount in exchange for an early payment. 3

Suppliers benefit from improved cash flow, less risk of nonpayment, and better access to capital. Furthermore, more than half of AR leaders agreed that their department's primary goal is to lower DSO, so they would be willing to agree to an early payment discount.

Dynamic Discounting

Fixed early pay discounts can produce risk-free, double-digit returns. To capture even greater returns, adopt dynamic discounting initiatives on a sliding scale— pay any time before the invoice is due. 

Supplier-initiated Auction Marketplace

Set up online auctions where suppliers make discount offers and compete for your early payment revenues. Set thresholds to determine which offers are rejected, approved or sent for review.

Supply Chain Financing

Helps you support your suppliers and your early payment programs while holding onto your cash. Third-party funders pay suppliers early for a discount, while you pay the full invoice amount on the original due date to the third-party funder.

Early Payment Programs

All Suppliers, All Invoices, All the Opportunities

We extend early payment offers to 100% of suppliers regardless of invoice submission method based on supplier segmentation. Making your early payment program accessible and convenient encourages more suppliers to take advantage of early payment offers and promotes better cash flow management for all parties involved.
