• What is trade receivables management?

Every company has a “Trade Receivables” program, but few manage it effectively as part of supply chain management.

A commercial or secured sales financing program provides solutions to support the profitable distribution of product throughout the entire supply chain. Adopting a new finance program can enhance your business opportunities. We’ll also help you manage:

  • The time it takes to turn a receivable into cash (DSO)
  • The amount of credit extended to each customer
  • Payment terms, billings, collections, billing inquiries, etc.
  • The costs of operating a credit/accounts receivables department

An optimized commercial or secured sales financing program can be a powerful asset to your sales effort. “No payment for 6 months,” “0% Financing,” and "Extended credit lines for seasonal purchases" are examples of sales incentives.

A new finance program can change your competitive landscape almost overnight. A company that utilizes sales and/or commercial financing can effectively manage it’s supply chain and gain a significant competitive advantage.
