The NorthPay managed accounts payable program allows vendors to receive proactive alerts when an invoice has been approved and is ready to be paid. This alert, in conjunction with the NorthPay portal, will reduce the time your A/P department spends answering vendor questions on the status of invoices.

While your organization may be looking to leverage payment terms to increase days payable, your vendors are conversely looking to minimize their days sales outstanding. Data shows that many vendors are willing to accept early pay discounts as it allows their invoices to be approved and paid faster.

Your vendors will find comfort in knowing that an early payment option is available at any time, without them having to ask you directly for an early payment. It allows them the transparency, flexibility and control to decide where, when and how they get paid by your organization.

Entire industries, such as factoring and other alternative financing options exist to provide vendors (both bankable and non-bankable) the ability to accelerate their accounts receivable and cash flow.  Since these finance options are generally much more expensive than the NorthPay early payment discount, vendors have been receptive. We find there is significant demand across all vendor types for early payment when it is offered.

Many vendors do not want to appear weak to their customer and are reluctant to ask for early payment on their own. Additionally, given the cyclical nature of business; knowing that an early payment option is available at any time is a welcome relief and one less worry.
