How a Leading Pet Care Manufacturer Strengthened Supplier Payments and Liquidity with Supply Chain Finance
Operating in a highly competitive market where balancing timely supplier payments with efficient cash flow is critical for growth, Compana sought a financing solution to streamline its supply chain while giving suppliers fast access to funds.
THE CHALLENGE
Compana worked with a large network of suppliers, many on short payment terms, which created pressure to pay vendors quickly while managing internal cash flow. The company needed a flexible solution to ensure timely supplier payments, extend terms without disrupting operations, and adjust as market conditions evolved.
“We needed a solution that was going to be able to get vendors paid on time as well as provide us with the ability to leverage and extend those payment terms without disrupting business,” said Jeff Harper, Corporate Controller.
Our suppliers are never more than three clicks away from a screen confirming that they’ll receive cash the same day”
