REALNET PAYMENTS LLC Revolutionizes Supply Chain Finance for High-Performance Automotive Component: Forged Connecting Rods

Milwaukee, WI – October 26, 2023 – REALNET PAYMENTS LLC, a leading provider of global payment solutions, today announced a streamlined financial solution designed specifically for the complex supply chains involved in the manufacture and distribution of high-performance automotive components, particularly forged connecting rods. This initiative addresses key challenges faced by manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors in managing cash flow, mitigating risk, and accelerating payments within a traditionally fragmented and often slow-moving sector. REALNET PAYMENTS, located at 4900 W Brown Deer Rd, Milwaukee, WI, 53223-2422, United States, and reachable at 215-387-6190, has identified a crucial need for optimized financial processes surrounding specialized automotive parts like forged connecting rods. These components aren’t your everyday parts; they demand precision engineering, robust materials, and rigorous quality control, translating into often complex and international supply chains. The Challenge with Forged Connecting Rods & Global Supply Chains Forged connecting rods are vital components within high-performance engines. They endure immense stress and contribute directly to engine power and reliability. Because of the specialized tooling, material science, and quality demands, the manufacturing process isn't easily localized. A typical forged connecting rod might involve raw material sourcing from one country, forging operations in another, machining and heat treatment in a third, and finally, quality control and distribution handled by a fourth. “We were seeing manufacturers struggle with long payment cycles, especially when dealing with overseas suppliers,” explains a REALNET PAYMENTS representative. “These delays impact their ability to secure materials, maintain production schedules, and ultimately, fulfill orders. It’s a real bottleneck in a sector that demands speed and precision.” Traditional financing options often fall short in addressing these specific pain points. Letters of credit are cumbersome and expensive, factoring solutions can eat into profit margins, and traditional bank loans require significant collateral and lengthy approval processes. Furthermore, the international nature of the supply chain introduces currency exchange risks and complexities. REALNET PAYMENTS: A Solution Built for the Automotive Component Industry REALNET PAYMENTS offers a comprehensive payment platform designed to tackle these challenges head-on. The platform leverages cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of the automotive component industry to provide: Accelerated Payments: Manufacturers can pay their suppliers faster, strengthening relationships and securing preferential pricing. REALNET can facilitate payments within days, instead of the often 60-90 day terms typical in the industry. Supply Chain Finance (SCF): The platform facilitates SCF programs, allowing suppliers to access capital at favorable rates, improving their working capital and reducing their reliance on expensive financing options. This benefits the entire supply chain by ensuring supplier stability and encouraging investment in quality and innovation. Global Payment Network: REALNET’s extensive network supports payments in multiple currencies, minimizing FX risks and streamlining international transactions. This is particularly crucial for forged connecting rod manufacturers who often deal with suppliers in Asia, Europe, and North America. Transparency & Traceability: The platform provides real-time visibility into the entire payment process, from invoice submission to funds disbursement. This allows manufacturers to track payments, manage cash flow, and identify potential issues proactively. Reduced Risk: REALNET’s robust security measures and fraud prevention tools protect both manufacturers and suppliers from payment fraud and cyber threats. Customizable Solutions: REALNET understands that every supply chain is unique. The platform offers customizable solutions tailored to the specific needs of each manufacturer and supplier. This could include tailored payment terms, automated invoice processing, and integrated reporting. How it Works with Forged Connecting Rod Production Imagine a US-based engine builder purchasing forged connecting rods. The process might traditionally look like this: 1. Order Placement: Engine builder places an order with a forging company in China. 2. Invoice Submission: The Chinese company sends an invoice with 90-day payment terms. 3. Delayed Payment: The engine builder waits 90 days to make the payment, impacting their cash flow and potentially straining their relationship with the supplier. 4. Supplier Financing: The Chinese company might need to seek expensive financing to cover their costs while waiting for payment. With REALNET PAYMENTS, the process becomes significantly smoother: 1. Order Placement: Engine builder places an order with the forging company in China. 2. Invoice Approval: The invoice is submitted to the REALNET platform and approved by the engine builder. 3. Early Payment Option: The forging company can opt to receive early payment from REALNET, accessing funds within days instead of 90. A small discount may apply, but the benefits of accelerated cash flow outweigh the cost. 4. Engine Builder Pays REALNET: The engine builder pays REALNET on the agreed-upon 90-day terms. This creates a win-win situation. The forging company receives faster payment, improving its cash flow and allowing it to invest in quality and innovation. The engine builder maintains a strong relationship with its supplier and benefits from a more efficient and reliable supply chain.
