How we help industrial suppliers

Attract new buyers

Enable buyers on your platform to defer payment from their very first purchase, and watch as your customer base grows.

Up front payments, guaranteed

Grow your business with confidence knowing that upfront payments are guaranteed.

Tailored for large order values

Choose a B2B credit platform that is optimised for the large average order values associated with the industrial supply chain. Offer the payment terms your buyers expect and accept payment via the methods most convenient for them.

Lead time leeway

Industrial components are often custom manufactured for the buyer. Such purchases may require deposits, milestone payments and a final invoice issued post-delivery. Hokodo’s flexible payments solution is built to withstand fluctuating lead times.

"We had previously tried to offer payment terms on our own, but since the process was so manual, lengthy and complex, instant credit decisions at the point of purchase were out of the question. Being able to give buyers the immediate decision and seamless experience they expect is a game changer for Achatmat.”
