Digital enterprise finance

Digitalization boosts efficiency, agility, and competitiveness for food & beverage manufacturers. Though investing in new tech can be daunting, our Digital Enterprise Finance simplifies adoption with tailored, outcomes-based payments. We remove upfront capital needs, allowing you to choose solutions based on your business needs and planned digitalization pathway, not your capital budget.

Extended payment terms

In a tough climate, managing cash flow is more critical than ever. By allowing terms of up to 180 days for Siemens products, our unique facility, Extended Payment Terms, gives you another source of working capital - without impacting existing credit lines. And because the facility is linked into Siemens’ order process, you can draw on it easily, whenever you need to.

Don't let sales fall through due to customer capital budget limits. Financing for partners and vendors help you differentiate your value proposition & enable customers to stay competitive with the latest food and beverage technology. We partner with OEMs, distributors, & resellers to offer affordable finance, making deals happen. We pay you promptly & directly for the technology, ensuring positive cash flow.

Retrofit Finance

When every investment really does count, upgrading equipment can be a smart way to stay competitive. Upgrading existing tech can significantly improve performance, allowing your business to respond to market demands quickly and cost-effectively. And because we can tailor your retrofit finance to match expected future benefits –the cost of your update is effectively paid for by improvements it delivers over time.
