In the logistics industry, long payment terms and delays are an everyday challenge for freight forwarders. A study from 2019 illustrates this: On average, freight forwarders wait 72.2 days after invoicing for their payments. In this context, Saloodo! has stood out for years as a reliable partner for freight forwarders by offering fast and secure payment processing.
What are the challenges for freight forwarders in payment management?
The logistics industry is generally characterised by long payment terms. A payment term of more than 70 days, combined with an average payment delay of 30 days, puts an enormous strain on the liquidity of freight forwarders. This scenario becomes even more challenging for smaller haulage companies that rely on prompt payments.
Additional burden from inflation and price increases in 2024
Inflation and rising diesel prices are an additional burden for haulage companies. Long payment terms exacerbate this situation by increasing the financial pressure on companies that are already operating with tight margins.
