Case Study: Q Construction Management achieves faster supplier cash flow and improved margins with Quickly

How Q Construction is turning “pay-when-paid” into fast cash-flow for suppliers while improving contract margins

Q Construction Management, an Alberta-based general contractor, faced a significant challenge with its traditional payment processes. Manual approvals for early payments to subcontractors were slow and inflexible, often forcing suppliers to wait for standard pay cycles or seek external borrowing for working capital. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Quickly to implement its automated Early Payment Program.

The solution from Quickly enabled suppliers to independently choose to get paid early on approved invoices for a small discount, while Q Construction maintained its original payment schedule. This streamlined process resulted in $2.9 million in bills being paid early, saved $41,000 in discounts, and strengthened supplier relationships. Quickly’s service provided a seamless, automated system that improved cash flow for all parties without impacting the contractor's own finances.
