Case History

Microline* is known for its ability to integrate a vast array of state-of-the-art components and services into a seamless IT solution for its customers. The company is growing fast -- but so are working capital needs. Microline is leveraging several open account relationships, but line limitations and management of multiple accounts payable cycles are taxing the company's ability to grow.
