The Problem: Friction is created when companies transact with each other due to user error, paper processing, use of different systems & networks, master data issues & poor communication. This impacts delivery performance & results in delayed payments to the Supplier — eroding trust & supply chain efficiency.


The Idea: What if we could reimagine how the supply chain is managed and provide one simple, transparent, and seamless platform that is shared by both the supplier and the customer? And what if the data that resides on this platform is integrated with the customer’s business system? And what if we provided smaller suppliers with the ability to submit accurate intelligent invoices to their customers through this platform? And what if we could add a third-party financial institution who could provide just-in-time financing, as needed, to help with cashflow and liquidity? All managed on the device of choice.


The Solution: SkyscendPay was developed to address The Problem by using innovative technologies such as blockchain (security & trust), artificial intelligence & machine learning. By using IBM Cloud Technologies – the SaaS solution can scale as needed to support any size organization & increase accuracy and efficiency through intelligence. Since customers and their suppliers conduct business on the same platform — they have the same supply chain visibility — from supplier registration through payment — eliminating the need for telephone calls or emails while keeping orders and payments flowing without interruption. By adding Financial Institutions onto the platform, customers can provide their suppliers with an Early Pay option (secured by the approved invoice) — helping address cash flow issues. The integration with backend business systems and spend management networks reduces complexity while providing timely and accurate data representing the single source of truth. All with 24x7 support.
