Soltec’s experience has shown that a significant improvement in Working Capital can be achieved through the successful implementation of Payment Term Best Practices. Soltec’s strategy for optimizing supplier payment terms is centered on the utilization of PROX terms (Proximal (“PROX”) meaning, in or of the next or coming month.) PROX payment terms are designed to provide one payment for combined shipments/invoices within a specified period of time. Soltec has assisted several hundred companies successfully implement the PROX payment terms strategy in defining the optimum payment terms.
Selecting the most appropriate PROX term for your company will require an examination of your organizations existing cash management strategies. In determining the proper PROX payment terms an organization must address the following five questions:
- What is my credit period going to be?
- What is my actual payment float period?
- What are my company’s cash flow requirements?
- What is the company’s borrowing strength?
- How often do I want to pay suppliers?
