Early Payments: How Organizations Can Become “AP Free”

Early-payment programs – paying suppliers before an invoice due date in exchange for a discount on the amount owed – make Net Payment Terms a thing of the past.

Early-payment programs also appeal to top suppliers.

The problem is that for all but the biggest businesses, manual approaches to early-payment programs:

•  Are incredibly complicated to deploy
• Often require risky underwriting
• Result in a significant reconciliation effort

But that doesn’t mean your business should abandon its dream of being “AP Free.”

The emergence of automated supplier payment processes is making it easier, more affordable, and less risky for businesses of all sizes to employ early payment programs.
