Supplier enablement, in-house

The supplier-enablement program you wish your bank gave you.

Run it yourself, inside your firewall, on any bank. Convert the card spend your program promised but never realized.

You pay when it works.  Paid diagnostic, then 25% of realized benefit — nothing more.

Built for the office of the CFO — Treasury, AP & Procurement.

Inside your firewall Bank-agnostic Straight-through to ERP Pay-for-performance

Two sides, one program

Both sides of the invoice come out ahead.

Buyers extend terms and capture the rebate the program was supposed to deliver. Suppliers get paid faster at a fraction of the cost they expect. The same enablement engine serves both.

For buyers · AP / Procurement / Treasury

Extend terms. Capture the rebate.

Move spend onto card across your whole supplier base — not just the easy 10% — so working capital and rebate actually move.

The bank is the foil, not the hero

Your bank caught the low-hanging fruit and spit out the rest.

The card program got sold on the whole portfolio. Then the bank enabled the suppliers that were easy to onboard, booked the win, and left the long tail untouched. The spend you were promised is still sitting in checks and ACH. Activate is how you go get it — yourself, on your terms.

What they did

Enabled the obvious few. Declared the program a success.

What they skipped

The majority of your suppliers — never meaningfully contacted.

What you keep

The realized benefit, instead of a number on a sales deck.

The numbers behind it

The economics already favor the card. The execution doesn't — yet.

The cost case is settled. The reason programs stall isn't price — it's enablement reach and reconciliation. Here's the evidence.

Reconciliation — not fees — is the real barrier. Suppliers accept when remittance flows straight through.

The method

Diagnose, enable, reconcile — inside your four walls.

A repeatable program your team runs, on the bank you already have. We bring the playbook, the supplier outreach, and the reconciliation rails — you keep the relationship and the upside.

Walk through the program
01

Diagnose the gap

Map your full supplier base against the spend your program was sold on, and quantify what's still on check and ACH.

02

Enable the long tail

Reach the suppliers the bank never contacted with an acceptance case that actually pencils out — basis points, paid faster.

03

Reconcile straight-through

Wire remittance into the ERP so acceptance sticks, DSO drops, and the benefit shows up where finance can book it.

04

Compound it

Run the same engine every cycle. Extend DPO, capture rebate, and keep converting spend you were already entitled to.

Pricing

You pay when it works.

No platform license. No seats. No "transformation" retainer. A paid diagnostic to size the opportunity, then a share of the benefit we actually realize together — when you win, we win.

Aligned incentives

Diagnostic + 25% of realized benefit

  • Paid diagnostic sizes the real opportunity first
  • We earn only on benefit you can actually book
  • Runs in-house, on your existing bank

Proof, not promises

We'd rather show you the math than a logo wall.

Every claim on this site traces to a source — the net-cost economics are Visa Commercial Solutions' own numbers, and we're paid on the spend we actually realize, not on activity. The program is new on purpose: we'd rather earn your trust with the diagnostic than borrow it with someone else's logo.

Straight answers

The questions every CFO asks.

Isn't card too expensive at around 3%?

No — that's the sticker rate, not the real one. Set up right, the net cost of acceptance is 12–82 bps once you count cash acceleration, tax treatment, and Level III data (Visa Commercial Solutions © 2023). Properly configured, card is often cheaper than the check.

Won't pushing card hurt our supplier relationships?

Outreach goes out branded as you — "done for you, as you" — not a third-party dialer that looks like phishing. Strategic relationships strengthen, because the conversation is about getting your suppliers paid faster, on your letterhead.

Do we have to switch banks or rip-and-replace?

No. We're issuer-agnostic and run inside your firewall, on the commercial-card program you already have. No migration, no new bank, no dependency.

How is this different from what our bank already does?

Your bank runs a couple of enablement waves, converts the easy suppliers, and hands back the rest as a dead file. We work the whole file — branded as you, on any bank — and we're paid on the spend we actually realize.

How are you paid?

A paid scoping diagnostic to size and baseline the opportunity, then a share of the realized benefit — no issuer subsidy. When you win, we win.

How much faster do suppliers actually get paid?

Roughly 15 days faster than check or ACH, with card funds typically settling in 1–2 days — which is exactly why the conversation lands with their AR team.

Go get the spend your program already promised.

Start with a paid diagnostic. We'll size the opportunity across your full supplier base — then run the program with you, inside your firewall, on the bank you already have.
