Better Cash Management: Ariba Discount Professional
In the face of renewed market volatility and economic uncertainty, companies are tightening their grip on cash to hedge against financial risk. But with little prospect of earning a return on parked capital, more buyer organizations are beginning to see their supply chains as a viable opportunity for investment. And suppliers are seeing large, cash-ready customers as a better source of faster cash for their receivables.
With Ariba Discount Professional, buyers can accelerate payment to key suppliers of approved invoices in return for discounts, earning an immediate return on their cash. Sellers gain increased visibility into future cash flows, certainty in payment timing and the ability to use cash sooner to fund daily business needs.
Faster, More Efficient Payments: AribaPay
Despite advances in technology, most payments between businesses in the United States are still made by check. And worldwide, payments made between businesses lack important underlying information. For buyers, that means lots of paper and inefficiencies that cost them billions each year. For sellers, it means little visibility into when they will actually be paid, making it difficult to manage cash effectively.
AribaPay solves these problems by automating paper transactions, providing better visibility into cash flow and producing rich remittance information that improves reconciliation processes for buyers and sellers alike.
Drew Hofler, marketing director for Manage Cash Solutions, Ariba:
“Trapped cash is the enemy of innovation and growth. Ariba solutions are uniquely designed to help companies get their cash flowing freely and working to their advantage, and we are pleased to again be recognized by Global Finance for our efforts and the results that we deliver.”
