Why Supply

The Gartner guide paints a clear picture of where the market stands.

What this

These market developments closely reflect the direction ISPnext has been taking in recent years.

In practice

We're particularly proud that this recognition comes at a time when organisations across Europe are rethinking how procurement and finance work together.

ISPnext has been recognised as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Supply Chain Finance Platforms (Gartner, Market Guide for Supply Chain Finance Platforms, Chaithanya Paradarami & Nauman Abbasi, 22 July 2026). This recognition highlights our integrated approach to Supply Chain Finance, combining Dynamic Discounting, Accounts Payable Automation and Source-to-Pay to help organisations optimise working capital, strengthen supplier relationships and improve financial control. We are one of twelve vendors profiled in this guide, and the only vendor headquartered in the Netherlands.

For us, this recognition is a meaningful signal that our approach to supply chain finance is resonating in the market. Our Dynamic Discounting solution, built natively into our Source-to-Pay platform and integrated directly with AP Automation, is increasingly what finance and procurement teams are looking for: a unified solution rather than another standalone tool to manage. By embedding Supply Chain Finance into existing financial processes, organisations can optimise working capital without adding unnecessary complexity.

This recognition covers Dynamic Discounting, ERP integration and end-to-end AP Automation.

Why Supply

Why Supply Chain Finance and Dynamic Discounting matter more than ever

The Gartner guide paints a clear picture of where the market stands. Finance leaders are under growing pressure to improve working capital, but simply extending payment terms is becoming increasingly difficult. Regulatory developments, including proposed EU Late Payment Regulation changes, are reducing that flexibility while organisations continue to look for ways to improve liquidity without damaging supplier relationships.

At the same time, the guide reflects a broader shift in how organisations approach Supply Chain Finance technology. Rather than managing separate financing programmes, finance and procurement teams increasingly value integrated platforms that connect ERP systems, Accounts Payable Automation and Supply Chain Finance in one solution.

The report also reflects growing demand for capabilities such as AI-driven automation, real-time analytics and seamless ERP integration, helping organisations make faster and more informed working capital decisions.

Supplier participation is another key success factor. Making it simple for suppliers to onboard, understand available payment options and request early payments helps organisations maximise the value of their Supply Chain Finance programmes while building stronger supplier relationships.

What this

What this means for ISPnext

One platform. From invoice to payment to working capital. These market developments closely reflect the direction ISPnext has been taking in recent years. The Gartner recognition reflects what we've been building: a complete Source-to-Pay platform where AP Automation and Dynamic Discounting work as one.

Every approved invoice flows directly into the Dynamic Discounting module, giving buyers and suppliers a live view of what can be paid, when and at what return, without additional setup, separate logins or disconnected systems.

In practice

Dynamic Discounting in practice

We're particularly proud that this recognition comes at a time when organisations across Europe are rethinking how procurement and finance work together. As businesses continue to focus on working capital optimisation, liquidity management and supplier collaboration, Supply Chain Finance is becoming an increasingly important part of a modern finance strategy.

Supply Chain Finance shouldn't be a separate initiative; it should be the natural outcome of a well-run AP process. That's exactly what we've been building through our integrated Source-to-Pay platform, and we're pleased to see this direction reflected in the Gartner Market Guide.

We remain committed to helping organisations modernise Accounts Payable, optimise working capital and gain greater visibility into business spend through intelligent automation and connected financial processes.
