How businesses use Shift Trade

Attract new customers

Many suppliers see an opportunity to build their customer base. When competing suppliers are reluctant to offer extended payment terms, they can be very attractive to a lot of buyers.

Outsource credit risk

Being able to outsource credit decisions and credit risk is a major driver for many suppliers. Zero time spent chasing late payments and zero credit losses.

Increase loyalty

Giving customers more time to pay increases order volumes. And customers are ‘stickier’ because they appreciate the flexibility their supplier is giving them by providing trade terms.

Certainty and predictability

For many suppliers, the real value comes from the certainty Shift Trade delivers. Once a sale is made, they know they’re going to be paid, and they know exactly when that payment will arrive. That certainty and predictability allows them to plan more effectively.

Reduce cost

Shift Trade is more cost-effective than many suppliers expect. After calculating the true cost of managing accounts receivable – including funding, insurance, late payments, losses and staffing – suppliers often find it’s cost-comparable to embed Shift within their business.
