Integration with SAP's AI/ML cash forecasting enables predictive discounting—matching supplier cash needs with buyer cash availability.

The platform incorporates SAP Analytics Cloud and machine-learning models to forecast cash impact of financing decisions, simulate DPO changes, and recommend optimal payment timing. Predictive analytics identify supplier distress and optimize funding allocation to maximize program ROI.
Supplier Financing Flexibility
Supports multiple financing structures simultaneously—dynamic discounting, reverse factoring, invoice assignment, and virtual card payments—allowing buyers to tailor offers by supplier tier, geography, and risk profile without separate systems.
Deployment Speed
Cloud-native architecture enables deployment in 3–6 months for standard implementations; pre-built connectors and templates reduce integration overhead. SAP's guided configuration tools and partner ecosystem accelerate go-live for ERP-connected deployments.
Global Banking Network
SAP maintains partnerships with 50+ global and regional banks, factoring firms, and non-bank funding partners (including fintechs), enabling multi-currency programs across 100+ countries and reducing time-to-market for new geographies.
Real-Time Payment Visibility
End-to-end invoice-to-payment visibility with real-time approval status, funding availability, and payment confirmation. Integration with SAP Treasury and Liquidity Management provides buyer and supplier views of cash movement and settlement timing.
Multi-Currency & Cross-Border Support
Native support for 100+ currencies with automated FX conversion, SWIFT payment routing, and compliance with local payment regulations. Single platform manages domestic and cross-border early payment programs without separate tools.
Dynamic Discounting Capabilities
Orbian's sliding-scale discount engine automatically calculates optimal early-payment discounts based on buyer cash position, cost of capital, and supplier payment behaviour, enabling both static and dynamic offer models within a single platform.
AI-Driven Cash Flow Analytics
The platform provides AI-powered cash-flow forecasting and working-capital impact modelling, allowing buyers to run scenario analyses on DPO extension, discount utilization, and funding costs to optimize programme profitability.
Supplier Financing Flexibility
Orbian supports multiple financing modalities (dynamic discounting, reverse factoring, supply-chain finance with multiple funders) in a single programme, allowing suppliers to choose their preferred payment acceleration method and enabling funders to compete for volumes.
Deployment Speed
Phased, modular deployment approach with pre-built ERP and P2P connectors enables initial programmes to go live within 4–6 months, with full enterprise scaling over 12+ months.
Global Banking Network
Orbian maintains integration partnerships with global and regional banks, fintech funders, and alternative liquidity providers, enabling programmes across 50+ countries without requiring buyer-managed banking relationships.
Real-Time Payment Visibility
Unified dashboard provides real-time visibility into invoice status, discount acceptance, payment execution, and working-capital impact, with alerts for key milestones and exception handling.
Multi-Currency & Cross-Border Support
Native multi-currency settlement, FX hedging integration, and compliant cross-border payment routing enable seamless programmes across geographic and currency boundaries with localized payment methods.
Dynamic Discounting Capabilities
Bottomline's sliding-scale discount engine automatically calculates variable early-payment discounts based on buyer cash position, funder costs, and supplier risk profile, enabling real-time offer optimization without manual intervention.
AI-Driven Cash Flow Analytics
The platform uses predictive cash flow modeling and scenario analysis to forecast DPO impact, working capital release, and cost-of-capital tradeoffs, helping treasury teams quantify program ROI before and during deployment.
Supplier Financing Flexibility
Multi-funder architecture and support for both bank and non-bank capital sources allow buyers to mix financing strategies (dynamic discounting, reverse factoring, virtual cards, bank supply chain finance lines) and allocate suppliers dynamically by tier, geography, or currency.
Deployment Speed
Pre-built connectors to major ERPs and P2P platforms, combined with Bottomline's managed supplier onboarding services, enable most mid-market deployments to go live with core invoicing within 3–4 months.
Global Banking Network
