How Transportation Companies Can Overcome Supply Chain Pressures

Posted by Quennie Zerna On December 16,2021

Transportation companies, trucking fleets, and freight businesses are feeling a lot of pressures from supply chains. End clients have big demands, especially in Q4, to get shipments delivered so they can fulfill orders. At the same time, many shipments are being held at docks due to COVID guidance, a lack of workers, and apprehensions about the omicron variant. Despite adverse pressures beyond anyone’s control, transportation companies can still overcome supply chain issues without taking on unnecessary debt.

Working Capital Can Weather Supply Chain Ups and Downs

Loan payments and interest rates may rise with adverse economic conditions, but working capital is resistant to all economic pressures, be it in a boom or a recession. Working capital allows transportation companies to cover overhead, make payroll, build up capital reserves, and sustain operations even when they are being pulled from different directions. Ensuring a constant influx of working capital can seem challenging. Transportation companies issue invoices with payment schedules of 30, 60, and sometimes 90 days. However, a lot can happen in that payment window while transportation companies are awaiting payments from their clients. In order to eliminate long waiting periods and receive revenue as quickly as possible, transportation companies use accounts receivable factoring.

How Accounts Receivable Factoring Works

Factoring is a simple, fast, and transparent process that transportation companies use to catch up on unpaid receivables and boost cash flow moving forward. Unpaid invoices are turned into cash, which is made available quickly, thereby eliminating long payments schedules of 30-90 days. By using accounts receivable factoring, transportation companies can build up their working capital reserves, which in turn will help them weather economic and supply chain ups and downs. Accounts receivable factoring is a recession-resistant way to ensure strong cash flow, even when there are strains on supply chains.
