GCC FMCG Distributor · GCC
A regional FMCG distributor managed hundreds of supplier payments through spreadsheets with no visibility into available cash versus supplier priority, straining key supplier relationships.
The Supplier Payment Optimizer application was implemented to rank suppliers by strategic priority and align payment proposals with available budget.
Finance and commercial teams jointly defined supplier priority criteria, then migrated the existing payables data and ran the first automated payment proposal cycle within three weeks.
Payment proposal cycle time dropped sharply and early-payment discount capture increased, while priority suppliers reported improved payment predictability.
