Net-30. Net-15. Net-60.
For many manufacturing companies, these terms are set once — and applied to everyone.
But in real life? Every customer is different. Some pay fast. Some negotiate long cycles. Some are worth the flexibility — and others aren’t.
So why treat them all the same?
🧨 The Risk of Standard Terms for Non-Standard Clients
Here’s what happens when you apply one-size-fits-all payment logic in a custom world:
- A trusted long-term client gets frustrated by rigid terms
- A first-time customer abuses a 30-day window — and delays your cash flow
- You manually check who owes what, when
- Teams send awkward follow-ups or forget entirely
- Invoices go unpaid, and no one notices until it’s too late
It’s not a structured manufacturing workflow — it’s a financial guessing game.
Especially for custom machine shops, fabrication companies, and fast-moving job shops, this lack of control impacts not just operations, but manufacturing finance as a whole.
✅ Not Every Client Pays the Same — And That’s Okay
In custom manufacturing, relationships matter.
Maybe you give Net-45 to a key B2B partner because they order monthly.
Maybe a new lead pays upfront — until trust is built.
Maybe some projects require partial prepayment.
This is normal. Expected. And even smart.
But without a system that supports these nuances, your team is stuck tracking terms manually — or worse, forgetting them altogether.
That’s where payment automation changes the game.
