Dealer Financing
SasiaNet | Dealer Financing is the newest addition to its product portfolio, considering the market demand.
Dealers (distributors) who purchase from large manufacturers or exporters will have to surrender to the selling terms imposed by the seller (the larger entity) hence will have to pay cash on delivery whereas they would only earn once they recover from retailers. Retailers are too small to pay immediately thus would request credit terms during which time the Dealer has to manage without cash from business. The Financier can offer Dealer Financing facilities to those Dealers who have cash shortages.
SasiaNet | Dealer Financing comprises of the following key features:
- Inquiry management
- Diary management
- Real time Dealer payment availability
- Integrated accounting with built-in controls
- Comprehensive limits management
- User-friendly fee structure
- Dealer Access module
We are ready to offer consultative services as a part of our presales process for new entrants to the Dealer Financing domain. For existing Dealer Financing service providers, before they implement SasiaNet | Dealer Financing, we would study their business to provide suggestions of improvements or to highlight bottlenecks before they get into actual trouble.
For Whom?
SasiaNet | Dealer Financing is for financiers who are capable enough to fund Dealers (Distributors) against their large purchase volumes. They would directly settle the supplier (manufacturer or exporter) against the invoices or GRNs issued by the supplier / purchaser and would recover after the credit period from the Dealer once the retailers settle.

Purchase Order Financing (PO Financing / Work Order Financing)
Small scale suppliers who supply raw materials to manufacturers would be paid only when they deliver items to the manufacturing plant. These small entrepreneurs will have to manage their expenses (manpower, sourcing cost, etc.) from external sources until they are paid by the manufacturer at the end of the delivery process.
SasiaNet invites any potential PO Financing entity to get the solution developed on demand. SasiaNet would share its consultative knowledge in Supply Chain Financing to fine tune the business concept to develop the best PO Financing system in town.

Cheque Discounting and Invoice Discounting
Invoice Discounting and Cheque Discounting are two additional products that could be handled from SasiaNet | Factoring. SasiaNet | Factoring allows creation of various products with different features and different fees. Invoice Discounting and Cheque Discounting would be two of such products.
Cheque Discounting
Cheque Discounting is the mechanism where the financier provides finance against a post dated cheque. This is a common business practice when the client is known to the financier.
Cheque Discounting is recognized as one of the riskiest businesses in Supply Chain Financing. However, this risk can be minimized through certain business rules which could be configured in the SasiaNet solution and through getting the users adhered to those business rules. SasiaNet would share that knowledge with any entities that are willing to adopt Cheque Discounting.
Invoice Discounting
Invoice Discounting is a miniature level Factoring where the Financier provides funding against an individual invoice. This could be a practice when the business volume is low.
