Case Study: Has Bean Coffee achieves 30% improved cash flow and faster payments with GoCardless

Control over payment timings, improved cash flow, shorter average payment period

Has Bean Coffee, a 15‑employee supplier of high‑quality coffee, faced chronic late payments from wholesale customers — sometimes up to four months — which caused uncertain cash flow and bad debt. To solve this, Has Bean implemented GoCardless (integrated with KashFlow) to gain control over when payments are collected.

GoCardless enabled Has Bean Coffee to collect invoice payments automatically via Direct Debit and have receipts reconciled in KashFlow; as a result, average payment days fell from 62 to 41 and business cash flow improved by 30%, reducing overdue invoices and uncomfortable conversations about money.
