Dynamic discounting allows cash-rich buyers to decide when they will pay their suppliers in return for a reduced price for the products or services purchased. This way, suppliers can also benefit from an early payment of their accounts receivables (A/R).
The solution includes a “dynamic” approach since the discount is determined on the dates of the payment to the suppliers. The earlier the buyers pay, the greater their discount will be.
With the funds being typically provided by the buyer’s own liquidity resources, this flexible method constitutes a powerful way to strengthen the financial position of all parties involved, across the entire life cycle of the invoicing.
Compared with the interest for short-term cash investments, dynamic discounting brings higher returns
Buyers use their excess cash to pay their suppliers, not funds provided by a financial institution
Early payments discounts facilitate buyers to significantly lower the cost of the purchased products and services
Through the platform’s functionalities, agility is ensured, and buyers can certify that no disturbances will occur
Suppliers can lower the cost of funding with this method to boost their growth
Suppliers get to decide which invoices are eligible to be included in the dynamic discounting process
When receiving an early payment, suppliers can lower the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and increase the cash liquidity
With dynamic discounting, suppliers can stay one step ahead since they have an overview of when they expect payments

This is the core module. It is an end-to-end web-based core dynamic discounting platform where all involved parties can interact simultaneously. Harnessing blockchain technology enables suppliers and buyers alike to work in a modern and ultra-secure interface.
Here, buyers can create the initial setup for any supplier they want to collaborate with. In general, the buyers can track the onboarding progress for their suppliers and also perform Know Your Customer (KYC) or audit procedures during the onboarding phase. The module offers buyers the potential to differentiate the process according to the customer type and they can also assign various user roles for each supplier.
Through this module, buyers can initiate the onboarding, which in combination with the back office are both white label solutions and are used only upon the beginning of a collaboration. Buyers upload the documents requested by the supplier and then the interaction can begin for each invoice a supplier deems eligible.
