How Dynamic Discounting works

Unlike traditional static discount models, dynamic discounting allows for real-time adjustments, offering suppliers the opportunity to receive early payment on invoices in exchange for a small discount.

Example: Supplier with 45-day payment terms extended to 60 days with option to be paid early via Dynamic Discounting
Day 1: Invoice Submitted

Invoice created for $100,000

Your business receives an invoice

Your supplier submits an invoice for $100,000 to you for goods or services rendered. Your company approves payment with Raistone. By using Dynamic Discounting, your company is able to extend payment terms while your supplier can choose to be paid earlier, with flexible rates based on how fast they choose to receive payment.

Day 5-45: Supplier Paid Early on Date of Choice

Raistone advances payment to supplier

Your supplier gets paid weeks earlier

Raistone pays your supplier for the approved invoice, less a small discount fee that is variable based on the date of payment they selected. The supplier receives this payment 40 days earlier than before your company started using Supply Chain Finance.

Day 60: Buyer Pays Invoice Later

Increased DPO with later payment

Your company benefits with extended payment terms

Instead of paying at day 45, as you did previously, your company now pays at day 60, improving your days payable outstanding (DPO) by 15 days. And because your supplier has opted in to Dynamic Discounting, they have also seen their days sales outstanding (DSO) shorten by days or weeks. Your company retains more cash on their balance sheet to spend how you choose, while your supplier is no longer waiting to be paid.

Day 60: Buyer Pays Invoice Later

There is a need for businesses to improve working capital through increasing days payable outstanding. Yet, in the current economic environment, many suppliers find it difficult to wait 45, 60, or 90+ days to be paid on invoices when they need working capital to fulfill new orders.
