Supply Chain Finance Solutions

Supplier Funding

A partnership between supplier and manufacturer requires close coordination in product development, systems integration and sales forecast management. While these initiatives are critical to a successful supply chain offering, DSO is often cited as a major hurdle in maintaining these supplier/manufacturer programs.

Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF) has developed a supplier funding program that offers suppliers a way to improve liquidity without undermining key performance metrics, such as cash conversion efficiency (CCE) or return on invested capital (ROIC). Our program helps create a healthier, more successful partnership between supplier and manufacturer, and enhances the abilities of both parties to make the necessary investments to stay ahead of the competition.

Key Advantages of CDF Supplier Funding

  • Reduces suppliers' DSO levels.
  • Allows suppliers to create and maintain flexible agreements with manufacturers.
  • Increases working capital and enhances cash flow.
  • Maintains vendors' cash conversion cycles without jeopardizing suppliers' cash flow.
