FMCG & Retail

Collect in the field, finance small retailers and pay suppliers faster.

FMCG distributors serve many small retailers through field sales teams, often collecting cash by hand. Retail chains, meanwhile, face constant pressure from suppliers waiting to be paid. Paynion digitises field collections and connects retailers, chains and suppliers to financing.

Challenges we hear

01

Cash collected by hand

Field reps carry cash and cheques, creating security risks and reconciliation gaps.

02

Small retailers lack credit

Corner shops struggle to access credit, which limits what they can order.

03

Suppliers press for payment

Chain suppliers want early payment, while the chain wants to keep its terms.

Use cases

SoftPOS collection on the route

A distributor's sales rep takes the order and the card payment at the shop with a phone; the balance updates instantly.

Early payment for chain suppliers

A retail chain approves supplier invoices, and suppliers are paid early through a financier while the chain keeps its terms.

How it works

How field collection works

  1. 1

    Plan the route

    Reps see their customers, open balances and due payments in the mobile app.

  2. 2

    Take the order

    The order is entered at the shop and stock updates centrally.

  3. 3

    Collect by card

    The retailer pays by contactless card on the rep's phone with SoftPOS, or later via payment link.

  4. 4

    Issue the e-invoice

    The e-invoice is issued and the payment posts to the current account.

  5. 5

    Reconcile centrally

    Finance sees every collection and bank movement on one screen.
