“Our software solutions are designed to streamline and secure the exchange of information with factors.”

Interview with Dominique Toubin, Director of Fibus Digital, on the ARI software suite developed to simplify and optimise the management of receivables financing and credit insurance programmes.

Expert insights

Why develop dedicated software for receivables financing?

In theory, receivables financing is a straightforward form of funding, but in practice its operational implementation is often highly complex. It sits at the intersection of credit management, accounting, and treasury functions, while on the factor’s side it involves technical specifications that are rarely aligned with a company’s accounting architecture.

At Fibus Digital, we started from a simple observation: without the right tools, managing receivables financing becomes both time-consuming and sub-optimal. Our software solutions are designed to streamline and secure the exchange of information with factors, while providing finance teams with a single platform to manage and optimise their funding programmes. Intuitive and modular, our solutions are suitable for both SMEs and large international corporates, regardless of the jurisdictions in which they operate.

 

What are the tangible benefits for client companies?

Our solutions support both companies already running a receivables financing programme and those looking to implement one. For new users, our software can be deployed in less than a month, in full compliance with the factor’s technical and operational requirements. For companies already using receivables financing, the focus is optimisation of the existing structure. On average, our tools increase funding availability by 15% and reduce operational workload by a factor of five. They notably include configurable variance analysis by factor, enabling users to quickly identify non-financed or under-financed receivables, and to take targeted action to maximise available cash.

 

How does ARI Trade facilitate credit insurance management?

The ARI Trade solution connects the company directly with its credit insurer upstream of receivables assignment. Finance teams can therefore verify that credit limits are aligned with their expectations and financing requirements.

Where adjustments are needed, requests can be initiated directly within ARI. This approach helps secure assignments, anticipate potential blocks, and ultimately maximise receivables financing capacity by aligning credit insurance and receivables financing within a fully integrated working capital management framework.
