How it Works:
Clear, Defined Steps for Each Contract Line Item
Cashway’s workflow provides clear, structured, and automated verification and payment scheduling for each line item in your procurement contracts:
Step 1
Contract & Milestone Setup
- Both parties (buyer and vendor) collaboratively define clear, actionable milestones for each line item in the purchasing contract.
- Explicit task assignments and clearly defined responsibilities are assigned to the Technical, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, and Finance departments.
- Verification checkpoints are established, and departmental responsibilities for each line-item milestone are documented.
Step 2
Milestone Execution & Real-Time Verification
- Once a milestone is reached, Cashway proactively notifies the relevant departments for verification.
- Each department receives clearly defined timelines for milestone verification tasks.
- Cross-departmental dashboards provide complete transparency into the progress of verifications, preventing delays and ensuring alignment.
- Automated escalation processes promptly alert supervisors and senior management if verification exceeds agreed timelines, ensuring quick resolution.
Step 3
Timely Payment Scheduling & Processing
- Upon successful verification by all relevant departments, the Finance team schedules payments according to contractual terms.
- Cashway maintains active payment alerts (“payment tags”) visible to buyers and vendors until each item is fully paid.
- Vendors track payment statuses through a shared real-time calendar, reducing inquiries and disputes.
Tailored Benefits for Buyers & Vendors
Cashway strategically addresses critical procurement and vendor management challenges, bringing clarity, efficiency, and transparency at every step:
For Buyers
Enhanced Clarity & Precision:
Clearly track and verify each contract line item independently—payments are triggered only after full departmental approval (technical compliance, operations logistics, quality standards, financial accuracy).
Superior Financial Control:
Payments are automatically scheduled and tracked per contractual terms (ex., 30, 60, 90 days), providing precision in cash flow forecasting and budgeting.
Significant Reduction in Administrative Burden:
Automated milestone-based workflows eliminate manual follow-ups, excessive emails, and communication gaps across internal departments and with vendors.
Reduced Transaction Costs & Risks:
Digital milestone verification replaces expensive bank guarantees, significantly reducing costs and procurement fraud risks.
Real-Time Vendor Performance Insights:
Advanced dashboards provide ongoing visibility and proactive management of vendor commitments, ensuring reliable deliveries and minimal disruptions.
For Vendors
Predictable & Timely Cash Flow:
Clearly defined payment terms and automated milestone-based schedules ensure predictable payments exactly as contractually agreed.
Reduced Communication Gaps & Payment Uncertainty:
Cashway eliminates the need to repeatedly request payment status updates via emails or calls—real-time status visibility and proactive automated notifications keep you continuously informed.
Accelerated Financing Opportunities:
Verified milestones can serve as credible collateral, simplifying vendor financing arrangements and enhancing liquidity management.
