Dynamic Discounting Capabilities
Marco Polo offers configurable sliding-scale discount engines that adjust offer rates based on real-time liquidity demand, funder utilization, and cost of capital — enabling buyers to capture 2–4% additional cash savings versus static discount programs. Suppliers see personalized discount offers in real time via a self-service portal, increasing acceptance rates.
AI-Driven Cash Flow Analytics
The platform leverages machine learning to forecast cash position impact, model DPO changes, and recommend optimal payment timing across suppliers and currencies. What-if scenario analysis allows treasury teams to simulate payment term changes and funding strategy adjustments before execution.
Supplier Financing Flexibility
Beyond dynamic discounting, Marco Polo facilitates reverse factoring and approved payables financing, allowing suppliers to monetize invoices without requiring individual bank relationships. Multi-funder routing automatically routes financing requests to the lowest-cost funder, improving net cost of capital for both buyer and supplier.
Deployment Speed
Pre-built ERP connectors and a standardized supplier onboarding workflow enable go-live within 3–6 months, faster than legacy supply chain finance platforms. Cloud-native infrastructure and API-first architecture reduce custom integration overhead.
Global Banking Network
Marco Polo's network includes 50+ participating banks and alternative funders globally, enabling buyers to access diverse funding sources and optimize cost of capital by geography and supplier tier. This ecosystem density reduces reliance on single-bank relationships.
Real-Time Payment Visibility
Blockchain-based invoice recording and payment tracking provide immutable, real-time visibility into invoice status, discount offers, and payment timelines for all stakeholders. This transparency reduces disputes, accelerates dispute resolution, and improves forecast accuracy.
Multi-Currency & Cross-Border Support
Native support for 50+ currencies and automated FX handling enable seamless cross-border supplier financing. Currency conversion is optimized within the platform, and multi-currency funding pools reduce intermediary costs.
Dynamic Discounting Capabilities
Tradeshift offers sliding-scale discount engines with automated offer generation and real-time discount capture tracking. Suppliers can accept or negotiate discounts via self-service portal, and the platform calculates net benefit vs. cost of capital.
AI-Driven Cash Flow Analytics
Platform provides what-if scenario modeling for DPO impact and cash flow optimization. Dashboards show working capital released, cash conversion cycle improvement, and savings attribution to procurement—enabling finance teams to model program expansion.
Supplier Financing Flexibility
Supports multiple financing methods: early payment via supply chain finance, dynamic discounting, reverse factoring, and virtual card programs. Funder allocation rules enable tier/geography/currency-based routing, optimizing cost and capacity across the funder network.
Deployment Speed
Pre-built ERP connectors and supplier portal templates accelerate go-live. Modular approach enables phased rollout by supplier segment or financing method, reducing implementation risk and enabling faster ROI demonstration.
Global Banking Network
Tradeshift operates a marketplace of funding partners (banks, non-bank lenders, alternative capital providers) across multiple regions, reducing buyer dependency on single lenders and enabling competitive pricing in multi-currency programs.
Real-Time Payment Visibility
