Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To optimize working capital and support its supply chain, the telco implemented a dynamic discounting program. Suppliers can view approved invoices in a portal and request early payment in exchange for a discount (APR). This self-service model automates the negotiation and payment acceleration process.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"FinTech meets AP. Instead of delaying payments (which hurts suppliers) or paying early for free (which hurts working capital), this model creates a win-win. The AP department becomes a profit center by capturing risk-free returns on excess cash."

warning The Challenge

Suppliers faced cash flow pressure and constantly called AP for status updates. The company wanted to improve 'Free Cash Flow' but also needed to keep its critical supply chain healthy.

psychology The Solution

Integrated Taulia with SAP. Suppliers get real-time visibility into invoice status. If an invoice is approved, the supplier can click 'Get Paid Now' for a small fee. The system automatically adjusts the payment amount and date in SAP.
