Meeting Industry Challenges

In an industry where delays drive up costs and margins are razor-thin, credit and AR decisions must move as fast as materials do. But with fragmented customer data, high order volumes, and fluctuating buyer risk, even seasoned teams struggle to maintain speed.

Multi-Tiered Payment

With contractors, subcontractors, and project-specific accounts involved, collecting payments is structurally complicated.

Volatile Supply Chains

Higher material prices and inconsistent delivery timelines often means customers need larger credit lines, fast.

Jurisdictional Rules

Preliminary notices, lien rights, and payment timing regulations vary widely by state, making credit extensions difficult to standardize.
