Case Study: Nordstrom achieves $1B+ in early cash and higher gross margins with C2FO

Nordstrom - Customer Case Study

Nordstrom, a leading fashion specialty retailer, faced the challenge of improving bottom-line profitability and formalizing a working capital improvement process for its suppliers amid tight credit markets. To give suppliers an alternative to standing cash discounts and bank lending, Nordstrom turned to C2FO for an on‑demand cash flow improvement model that C2FO manages end-to-end, including supplier onboarding and project management support.

C2FO implemented its early-payment marketplace, seamlessly integrating with Nordstrom’s ERP and driving strong supplier participation; the program has delivered more than $1B in early cash to suppliers, increased Nordstrom’s gross margin, and remains low‑maintenance for the retailer. C2FO’s solution helped Nordstrom formalize working capital processes, support suppliers’ liquidity needs, and measurably improve profitability.
