The client designs and constructs bespoke generators to the construction and underground mining sectors.
Background
The client had recently been awarded a tender which required an increase for overseas components and domestic partner contribution for the accommodation of the complete project, plus there was a requirement for overland delivery using Australian heavy haulage to site installation.
• Import and logistics – 60 days from purchase order.
• 30 days value add construction.
• 14 day delivery and installation.
Payment terms
• 20% of delivered project on execution of the contract payable 30 days from date of issue.
• Balance paid 30 days after installation sign off.
Project value $5.85M over 7 months.
OptiPay was competing against a first-tier bank, three factoring companies and one second tier finance company.
OptiPay was awarded the funding. Why?
The OptiPay solution for our client was:
1. Established a trade import funding facility (no money contributed by the client);
2. Established a rolling facility to AUD$6M;
3. Fully OptiPaySecure™
4. Limited Recourse to the client;
5. No property security required;
6. Reduction in procurement and import supply costs by 18% (all international components);
7. Reduction in domestic manufacturing for specific components by 6%;
As a result of this solution, the effective cost of the entire facility was zero to the client, and it in-fact improved the client’s overall margins on the project, not to mention a drastic improvement in their working capital requirements.
This solution is a first in the Australian market and has come about as a result of the smart integration of all aspects of the supply chain, by the OptiPay team.
Thinking well outside the box created opportunity.
