Today supplier payments, especially those that facilitate global trade, follow a complex, costly, and time-consuming process that often results in late payments. With global trade volumes expected to grow by 4.7% in 2022*, the financial friction that arises from such transactions weakens links in the supply chain. This partnership will simplify payment processes by offering next-day payments to any supplier, regardless of their location. With this, businesses can unlock new opportunities and innovations by finally closing the cash gap between procurement and suppliers. By paying suppliers on-time, procurement teams can use payments to build strong, reliable, and performance-driven supply chains.
Ivalua Payments enables much needed collaboration, automation, transparency, and speed to an often inefficient and costly process. By bringing Procurement and Finance together, customers will be able to trade goods and services at the best price and guarantee on-time (or early) payment in a secure, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Not only does this improve supplier liquidity and support their financial health, but it also strengthens the relationship to create robust links in the global supply chain.
