Oildex Announces Supply Chain Finance Program for Oil & Gas Operators and Suppliers

New program leverages Oildex's industry-leading OpenInvoice platform to create a supply chain finance program that benefits operators and suppliers alike

DENVER (PRWEB) April 24, 2018

Oildex, the leader in financial automation solutions for the oil and gas industry, today announced the availability of its Supply Chain Finance Program through its leading OpenInvoice™ automated payables platform. The program is part of the Oildex Innovation Agenda to develop and deliver new solutions that provide tangible benefits to both operators and suppliers.

"We see a clear market need and a unique opportunity for Oildex to leverage our existing relationships with major operators already using our OpenInvoice platform, along with our extensive network of suppliers, to create a ‘win/win' solution for everyone involved," said Craig Charlton, CEO of Oildex.

OpenInvoice Supply Chain Finance is enabled through Cass Information Systems, a long-term strategic partner of Oildex. The program is simple: Cass Information Systems will pay suppliers quickly, less a competitive early pay discount, allowing the operator to maintain or even extend their payment terms to maximize working capital returns. In addition, there is an opportunity for the operator to also receive a financial rebate based on the transactions.

Charlton added, "With our Supply Chain Finance Program, operators get increased liquidity, better supplier relationships through faster payments, and a more stable supply chain. Plus, they open a new revenue stream by receiving a share of the discount given by the suppliers in the form of rebates. Suppliers get fast payment on their receivables, within 1-2 days of invoice approval, and quicker access to critical working capital that can be used to fund and expand their operations."

The Oildex model has several clear advantages over existing offerings, such as early pay discount programs and Vcards. It is delivered on the same proven, secure OpenInvoice platform that many operators and suppliers currently use to process invoices and payments. In addition, it works with all major enterprise resource planning (ERP) and information management systems.

With more than 67,000 suppliers on its network, Oildex is in a unique position to partner with operators to promote the program and drive adoption within the supplier community, as well as offering single point of contact for all operator and supplier support requests, further easing the burden on all parties involved.

"In the end, we identified a program that makes sense for everyone in the industry," added Charlton. "We realized we are the only company in a position to make it a success."
