Press the "on" switch and our
Distribution Finance group gives you a finger on the pulse of your
business
As part of our efforts to provide premier inventory financing,
we’ve enhanced our on-line account management capabilities
to better facilitate the flow of funds between our manufacturer
and distribution channel customers and us. Today, our distribution
finance customers have password-protected online access to the following
advanced technology features:
Online Account Statements: Our on-line account
statements let dealers view invoice details and check account
status and available credit. Manufacturers can generate outstanding
stock reports that can help them accurately assess and forecast
repurchase obligations.
Online Bill Paying: With
our on-line bill paying, dealers can make payments electronically,
a much faster and more cost-efficient means of paying than postal
mail. Moreover, on-line bill paying enables immediate payment
posting, which minimizes interest accrual and maximizes credit
availability.
Online Shipping Approvals: Our on-line shipping
approvals speed inventory delivery by providing fast, three-way
notification of credit availability. First, the manufacturer submits
a “good to ship” request number on behalf of the distributor.
Then, we grant funding approval to ship and notify the dealer
the moment the order ships.
Electronic Invoicing:
Because prompt, accurate invoicing is critical to everyone’s
success, we offer three electronic invoicing options to meet our
inventory financing customer needs. Our standard EDI810 process
is for those who currently have EDI infrastructure in place. Our
In-Network Translation enables transmission of a proprietary flat
file to a secure intermediary for translating data to standard
EDI format. Our secure Extranet Server Exchange is for those who
prefer to use FTP protocols to move data across the Internet.
Paperless Inspection: For those industries that
require inspection, our automated inventory verification technology
makes the process much easier. Using a hand-held computer, our
field representatives conduct inventory inspections in far less
time—and with far greater accuracy—than pen and paper
permit.
