The four problems we solve for textile & garment trading
01Delayed supplier paymentWhen a textile & garment trading supplier payment is delayed, Net 30-60 days after shipment (established suppliers), 30-50% prepayment for large orders (MOQ: 500-1000 units) can collide with shipment release, production schedules, or balance-payment deadlines.
02FX margin leakFX pressure for textile & garment trading often follows EXTREME: Multi-currency exposure (CNY+INR+BDT+VND). 5-10% margins mean 3% FX move wipes out profit. Must hedge all POs. Landed cost and margin are harder to defend when payment economics are unclear.
03Document holdPayments may pause when banks request Commercial Invoice (detailed SKU breakdown) or Packing List (carton-level details)—or other trade evidence—before crediting the beneficiary.
04Cash tied before releaseWorking capital can sit tied before release when Fast fashion: Weekly payments to multiple suppliers. Traditional: Seasonal peaks (Spring/Summer Feb-Apr, Fall/Winter Aug-Oct ordering). and uncertain payment timing overlap.
