The Challenge

B2B transactions are increasingly being made online – according to the 2021 World Supply Chain Finance Report, companies will make more than 50% of their purchases online by 2025. Meanwhile 95% of companies want invoice payment (i.e. Buy Now, Pay Later) as an option when buying online, which is the most popular payment method in B2B offline business. In IONTO-COMED’s webshop, this was previously only possible by request and entailed increased effort, costs, and risks. Their customers had to put up with a long waiting time before the order was shipped, negatively impacting conversion rate and sales in the webshop.

The Strategy

To meet the new demands of B2B e-commerce, Mondu’s Buy Now, Pay Later solution was implemented in IONTO-COMED’s online shop. The goal was to offer flexible payment methods to business customers, while also eliminating the associated default risks and operational overhead for IONTO-COMED.

The Results

Mondu’s Buy Now, Pay Later solution enabled IONTO-COMED to offer invoice payment with a 30-day payment term to every web shop customer. In doing so, Mondu covered the complete default risk and transferred the money after a few days, positively impacting IONTO-COMED’s cash flow.

Mondu replaced the outdated, manual, time-consuming credit check with one that takes place in real-time. This not only saved IONTO-COMED costs and resources, but also saved customers time and effort by providing immediate confirmation. The quick and easy process created a better shopping experience and directly impacted customer satisfaction, ultimately leading to higher conversion and more sales.

Already in the first month, the conversion rate on the IONTO-COMED web store went up by 21%, while basket sizes increased by 25%. With an acceptance rate of more than 90%. Buy Now, Pay Later from Mondu was well received by IONTO-COMED customers.

Let Mondu take the risk and operational burden off your shoulders.
