Transforming a US-Based Water Treatment Systems Manufacturer’s Cash Flow Management: A 1000% Revenue Increase in 60 Days!
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client, a water treatment systems manufacturer based in the United States, struggled with cash flow management difficulties that threatened their business. These issues caused financial stress, insolvency risk, reduced creditworthiness, limited growth opportunities, reduced operational efficiency, legal consequences, damaged reputation, loss of competitive advantage, and risk of forced liquidation or bankruptcy.
Problem
The cash flow management difficulties stemmed from a lack of access to new markets and suppliers, underperforming sales networks, and high production, operation, and transaction costs. As a result, the company was unable to effectively manage their working capital and remain competitive in the global market.

We implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms to help the client resolve their cash flow management difficulties, including:

Direct and Indirect Offset agreements

Industrial compensation, including Buyback and Off-take agreements
