Trading Company

Quote: “We were getting squeezed from both sides.  Since the financial crisis, our customers have extended their payment terms while our suppliers increasingly needed cash more urgently than before.  Seabury TFX was able to help us balance out the gap between both sides.”

The Challenge:

A trading company with multiple Asian market suppliers had negotiated discounts with their supplier base, but often didn’t have the process or available cash flow to make these discounts work for them.  They also needed a way to get paid faster from the customers that they sold to in North America and Europe.

The Solution:

The trading company utilized Seabury TFX to optimize both their accounts receivables and accounts payables.  The hybrid solution gave the company a monitoring system to match their cash flow on both sides.

The Result:

This strengthened the finances for their supply chain and allowed them to reduce the gap between getting paid and paying their suppliers.
