Empowering carriers with cash-flow
Ofload and Butn have extended their partnership, to offer two new financing solutions to carriers, fully integrated within Ofload’s platform.
The Australian logistics market is highly fragmented, with small and medium-sized carrier companies often finding themselves navigating cash flow challenges to keep afloat. With payment terms averaging 30 days or more in the industry and the substantial operational expenses (both recurring and unexpected) that carriers encounter, managing cash-flow can become a daunting task.
Fortunately, Ofload has extended its’ partnership with Butn to offer its carrier network two new exclusive financial products with industry-leading rates - FastPay and PayLater - which carriers can now access directly within Ofload’s platform.
Introducing FastPay
FastPay enables carriers to receive payment in advance for non-Ofload loads.
While invoice financing usually requires businesses to get finance on all their invoices, FastPay enables carriers to select the invoices they require funding for.
This innovative solution provides carriers with the much-needed flexibility to access their funds in an instant, without the lengthy wait typically associated with payment terms, and still maintain 100% of the relationship with their customer.
Introducing PayLater
This financial product addresses the recurring and unexpected expenses that carriers face in their day-to-day operations. With PayLater, Butn covers 100% of the business expenses incurred by Ofload carriers, allowing them to manage their cash flow effectively. Carriers can then repay these expenses over a three-month period, reducing the immediate financial strain caused by operational costs.
How can I get started?
Both FastPay and PayLater have been crafted with simplicity and speed in mind. Carriers can easily upload their selected invoices directly within Ofload's platform, and payment processing is completed within a few hours only.
This quick turnaround time ensures that carriers have access to the funds they need when they need them, eliminating the stress associated with waiting for payments or managing unexpected expenses. The result? More financial flexibility and more time to grow your business!
