Cutting-edge payment solutions for the fashion industry
Control payments and currency exposure with innovative technology Learn moreBringing pricing, payments and risk mitigation together
Fashion businesses commit to product costs before final sales are known. Collections may be priced months in advance, suppliers can be paid across several milestones and the eventual margin is shaped by demand, returns, markdowns and exchange rates.
Smart Currency Fintech helps brands, retailers, wholesalers and platforms connect the data behind those decisions. By linking purchase orders, forecasts, payment requirements and currency cover, finance teams can build greater certainty around margin without losing the flexibility required by a fast-moving market.
Protect margin before the collection launches
Costing and pricing
Where products are sourced in a foreign currency but sold in sterling or another reporting currency, exchange rates affect landed cost and gross margin. Even routine market movements can affect profit and show up on the balance sheet.
Seasonal and uncertain forecasts
Initial order quantities can change as sales data develops. Fashion firms need the ability to model how various outcomes would impact their profits and cashflow, as well as to protect themselves from any fallout.
Supplier payment volumes
Brands and retailers may pay many manufacturers, agents, logistics providers and service partners.
Multi-channel receipts and outflows
Wholesale, marketplace and direct-to-consumer channels can create receipts and refunds in several currencies.
