SunGard’s AvantGard has partnered with PrimeRevenue to offer improved connectivity and data transmission to help facilitate Supply Chain Finance (SCF). The PrimeRevenue platform links trading partners (buyers and their suppliers) and financial institutions to a common network. Through the SCF Platform, buyers upload approved invoices (their payables) for payment at a future date. AvantGard can supply these files directly from the AvantGard Receivables solution. The buyer’s suppliers can view their receivables, and may opt to trade receivables as selected for early payment, less a low financing fee based on the buyer's credit rating. Participating financial institutions fund the early payment requests. AvantGard’s solutions for receivables, treasury and payments management can help companies gain increased transparency and access to data for use of the platform.

“If you think about commercial trade, the concept that settlement of corporate to corporate transactions often takes 30, 60, even 90 days, is incredible, especially if you compare the timeframe to any other financial transaction. It is evident that there is an enormous opportunity for improvement,” comments C.J. Wimley, executive vice president, corporate solutions for SunGard’s AvantGard business unit. “We are working to help our customers reduce friction and attain visibility across the EcoSystem of buyers, suppliers and other trading partners by delivering solutions that can create transparency, increase efficiency and foster networking. As part of this strategy, we have partnered with PrimeRevenue to deliver increased value to our customers by helping facilitate alternative financing.“

PJ Bain, chief executive officer of PrimeRevenue, says: “Supply Chain Finance has always made sound financial sense, but in today’s economy, it provides increased value. It helps companies reduce working capital while at the same time giving their suppliers access to typically investment-grade credit to address their own cash flow needs. We are pleased to have partnered with SunGard AvantGard to help support a supply chain community who see SCF as a working capital option.”

SunGard will also be moderating a panel on the topic of Risk-Based Collections at the AFP Conference. This topic helps companies understand how to implement a strategic approach to collections management by leveraging credit data and risk models to automatically adjust tactics. Implementing this approach can help companies lower DSO, reduce bad debt expense and improve productivity.
