The amount you save through managing vendor discounts can be significant.

Taking all available discounts can represent significant savings and make more sense financially, than holding off on your payment.

 

For example, if your organization makes $1 billion in supplier payments each year and 25% of those payments are eligible for 1% discount, this translates into $2,500,000 in available discounts.

Choose supplier payment terms optimization strategy that meets your needs.

Our organization places a priority on having the right payment term for each supplier.

IBIS™ helps us identify these opportunities and then keeps our payment terms in line. This new visibility and analysis have saved our company millions of dollars.
