Extended payment terms, growth constraints, and supply chain pressures impact cash flow. Manufacturers shouldn’t have to stall production on critical, large orders to wait for payment. Learn how Accounts Receivable Finance (ARF) can help manufacturers stay agile, even in the face of unprecedented global trade tensions.
With the integration of OroCommerce’s powerful B2B eCommerce platform and Raistone’s financial tools, manufacturers can unlock liquidity faster than ever.
The working capital gap in manufacturing and distribution
Manufacturers and distributors routinely face financial frustrations that can strain their operations and limit growth. Extended payment terms are common, with invoices stretching 30, 60, or even 90+ days, putting significant pressure on cash reserves.
At the same time, opportunities to scale – from securing a major contract to launching a new product line – require upfront capital that manufacturers may not have readily available. Adding to the complexity, ongoing supply chain disruptions and shifting tariffs can cause sudden spikes in raw material costs, further squeezing already tight margins and making it even harder to maintain financial stability.
These challenges stifle businesses’ agility. For example, without immediate access to funds, a manufacturer might delay ramping up a new production run, or a distributor may miss early‑payment discounts from key suppliers – ultimately ceding advantage to competitors with greater capital access.
OroCommerce users are uniquely positioned to avoid these bottlenecks by leveraging Raistone’s embedded finance solutions through their existing systems.
“Manufacturers are under constant pressure to deliver more with less. Longer payment terms, thinner margins, and unpredictable supply costs make cash flow management a strategic priority. By embedding Raistone’s financing capabilities within the OroCommerce platform, we’re giving our users a smarter way to close that working capital gap without disrupting their operations.” — Aaron Sheehan, Director of Product Marketing, OroCommerce
Real-world manufacturing success stories
Raistone has direct experience in the manufacturing and distribution space. Our clients have benefitted from leveraging our solutions to expedite their growth. Now, even more manufacturers can tap into these capabilities to accelerate their business through the OroCommerce ecosystem.
Unlocking growth for a beverage manufacturer expanding nationwide
Faced with rapid national expansion and increasing demand from large retailers, a successful beverage manufacturer and distributor turned to Raistone to unlock working capital tied up in unpaid invoices. By leveraging Accounts Receivable Finance, they accessed the funds needed to scale production and fulfill orders without waiting on lengthy payment terms, all while preserving equity and avoiding debt. A similar opportunity is available to OroCommerce customers through Raistone’s embedded financing tools.
Scaling a fashion brand 30x with predictable cash flow
Boujee, a fast-growing apparel company, faced seasonal demand spikes and long payment cycles from major retailers. With Raistone’s support, they accelerated cash flow through ARF, allowing them to fund production upfront, meet peak demand efficiently, and continue growing without taking on traditional loans.
A broader manufacturing impact
While ARF is ideal for small and mid-sized manufacturers needing immediate liquidity, Raistone also supports large enterprises with complex supply chains. Our financing solutions scale to meet the needs of even the most capital-intensive operations.
When paired with OroCommerce’s scalable, flexible platform, Raistone’s solutions deliver a competitive edge to manufacturers at every stage of growth.

This aerospace manufacturer needed upfront capital to meet strict production deadlines for global clients while navigating fluctuating raw material costs. Raistone’s financing solution enabled them to bridge the gap between delivery and payment, ensuring timely fulfillment, reduced financial strain, and enhanced supply chain resilience.
OroCommerce customers with complex production cycles and global distribution needs can benefit from the same level of financial enablement through this strategic partnership.
Manufacturers are optimizing working capital access
Extended payment terms place a constant strain on working capital access and leave businesses vulnerable when supply chain costs rise. In a tricky trade environment where manufacturing and distribution businesses face unpredictable market pressures, nothing is more valuable than predictable cash flow.
“Our customers aren’t just looking for a better B2B eCommerce experience, they need financial agility to grow, compete, and win. With Raistone, OroCommerce users can unlock capital from receivables and reinvest it into growth, all without taking on debt.” — Aaron Sheehan, Director of Product Marketing, OroCommerce
