Oliver Belin, Calculum CEO and co-founder, joined Neil C. Hughes on Tech Talks Daily to discuss how payment terms can become a more strategic lever for working capital improvement.

The conversation starts with a simple question: could a company be paying suppliers earlier than the market and, without realizing it, financing an advantage for others? Oliver explains why organizations need visibility beyond their own supplier data to answer that question and make better-informed payment terms decisions.

The episode explores how aggregated, anonymized market benchmarks can help procurement and finance teams understand where market payment terms sit for comparable buyers, prioritize the opportunities with the greatest potential impact, and avoid broad approaches that may put unnecessary pressure on supplier relationships.

Oliver and Neil also discuss the role of AI and predictive analytics. The focus is not AI for its own sake, but how technology can analyze large volumes of reliable data, identify where negotiations are more likely to succeed, and help teams focus their resources where they can create the most value.
