My colleague David Gustin recently penned apaperthat summarizes many of the techniques to accelerate early payment in the supply chain. As he frames the argument, “Everyone – including the White House, UK and European public sectors – agrees there are significant benefits that come from accelerating cash in the supply chain.” Yet even while politicians and businesses can agree that the benefits of accelerating payments is real in terms of economic impact and supply chain stability, there are underlying challenges in the structural notion of what has led to the need to accelerate early payments.

的创始人大卫•布朗both Oxygen Finance and Remitia, is passionate about getting payment in the hands of SMEs as fast as possible. In a recent blog post on the topic, David notes that, based on research he’s looked at in the UK, “£41 billion of payments to suppliers are considered late. We have not been able to confirm what late specifically means in practice, 30, 60, 90, 120 days etc., but what we do know is that out of this £41 billion in late supplier payments, £36 billion is owed to SMEs.” The implications of this are significant indeed.

Yesterday, I covered a number of challenges around the issue of early payment solution provider proliferation and supplier confusion. Yet it is excitement and change in the market that is in large part leading to the confusion itself. What’s driving part of the excitement – actually a large part of the excitement in procure-to-pay-based lending – is the data that sits inside networks like Tungsten, Basware, Taulia, Nipendo, Ariba, GT Nexus and others. The combination of this data with external data is nirvana for anyone with a doctorate in statistics or mathematics. As with program trading on Wall Street, you can model risk and behaviors.
