Case Study: REI achieves better returns on cash and stronger vendor partnerships with C2FO

REI pays back C2FO investment in less than seven months

REI, a national outdoor retailer, needed a strategic program to invest its cash while also providing its vendors with better access to working capital. Their existing manual discounting programs were inefficient, so they sought an automated solution and selected C2FO's working capital marketplace after an extensive RFP process.

C2FO implemented its dynamic discounting solution, which integrated seamlessly with REI's ERP system and went live in just six weeks. The program delivered a strong return on short-term cash, allowing REI to recoup its one-year investment in less than seven months. Additionally, the vendor-centric program strengthened REI's partnerships with its suppliers.
