Case Study: BHI scales subcontractor early payments with Earlytrade

BHI scales subcontractor early payments with Earlytrade, reaching 73% invoice registration

BHI, a $650M general contractor, faced a challenge in manually managing the increasing volume of early payment requests from its subcontractors. This reactive process, handled through project managers, created significant administrative overhead and threatened to stall their growth. BHI sought a structured solution from Earlytrade to automate this workflow and improve subcontractor relationships.

Earlytrade provided its platform, integrating seamlessly with BHI's Viewpoint Vista ERP via the Trimble Marketplace. The solution automated the early payment process, shifting negotiations away from project managers and directly to subcontractors on the portal. The results were significant: 50% of subcontractors registered within six months, and Earlytrade helped BHI achieve a 2.68% average discount, saving $350k in the first year while greatly improving cash flow for their subcontractors.
