Case Studies

Case Study: Optimising Working Capital

“I need enough credit with my suppliers to allow them to sell to me, and enough credit on account to enable me to sell to my customers. Effective cashflow management keeps us in business.” - Joe Hemani, Owner & Chairman, Westcoast

With longer payment terms for their customers than those offered by their suppliers, cash was going out of Westcoast more quickly than it was coming in. As a consequence, they weren’t able to purchase optimum levels of stock without incurring hefty rates of interest.
