Golbon and FTNI Partner to Bring True Integrated Receivables Solutions to Golbon’s Independent Distributor Members
Omaha, Neb. (PRWEB) April 11, 2017 -- Financial Transmission Network Inc. (FTNI), a provider of industry-leading integrated receivables solutions, today announced it has formed a partnership with Golbon, a national foodservice buying group, to become a preferred receivables processing technology provider to their 200-plus independent distributor members.
A recognized leading provider of software and technology solutions to the food and beverage distribution industries, FTNI’s ETran integrated receivables platform is currently used by numerous distribution companies across the U.S. and Canada, including multiple top-twenty U.S. broadline foodservice distributors and other industry-leading independent foodservice and beverage distributors.
Through this exciting new partnership, Golbon’s independent foodservice distributor members will gain access to FTNI’s industry-leading integrated receivables processing platform, ETran. The platform features a seamlessly integrated, modular design that allows companies to accept, process and post remittance transactions across any payment method (check, ACH, credit and debit card, cash) from any payment channel (mailed-in, lockbox, called-in, in-person, online, mobile), all on a single, secure, cloud-based platform.
“We believe our ability to provide unparalleled support and innovation to our members is what sets Golbon apart within our piece of the foodservice distribution space—connecting our members with proven, industry leading technology solutions is a big piece of the value we are able to deliver,” said Dave Myers, vice president at Golbon. “FTNI’s proven ability to help foodservice distributors consolidate AR operations on a single platform is something we’re very excited to bring to our distributor members.”
ETran’s easy-to-deploy, modular design enables organizations to quickly configure the platform to their unique business requirements to accelerate exception handling, increase cash flow, and has been proven to help reduce DSO by more than four days in some instances. A flexible ‘plug-n-play’ platform, ETran works with existing banking and merchant processor relationships and supports efficient integration (batch or real-time) with any back-office accounting/ERP system. All payment information is processed and stored on ETran’s fully compliant – PCI, HIPAA, SSAE 16 and more – Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.
“Foodservice distributors are being forced to evolve their AR operations and payment processing capabilities at an accelerated pace,” commented Zac Robinson, director of sales & marketing at FTNI. “What has historically been an invoice and check-based transaction stream, is quickly expanding to include ACH and even credit card payments across new online and mobile payment channels. We’re excited to work with Golbon and their independent distributor members to deliver a leading integrated receivables solution to help them consolidate and streamline AR operations and processes on a single, cloud-based platform.”
