“When our receivables were stretched from 30 to 45 days, this made it difficult for us to pay our utilities, taxes, and suppliers and even meet payroll.”

Challenge
Several of Red Rock’s customers extended payment terms from 30 to 45 days. This 15-day extension resulted in a cash flow gap that caused problems for Red Rock when it came to paying their overhead expenses and accounts payable on time.
Solution
To solve this problem, Red Rock uses Early Payments, a Taulia feature offered by its latest customer, a $2 billion oil and gas company headquartered in Dallas. This enabled Red Rock to accelerate payment of certain outstanding invoices. “When our receivables were stretched from 30 to 45 days, this made it difficult for us to pay our utilities, taxes, and suppliers and even meet payroll,” says Brenda Conner, Red Rock’s bookkeeper.
