Case Study Overview
ECatering works with thousands of food service operators, supplying them with professional catering and cooking equipment. By meeting customer expectations and delivering a service like no other, Ecatering experienced a significant increase in sales almost overnight.
When food service operators were allowed to reopen after the pandemic, they urgently needed new equipment. However, due to recent losses, many were unable to pay upfront. ECatering wanted to offer a digital trade credit solution that would both support their customers, while giving them a competitive edge by:
- Increasing order value with flexible payments
- Giving customers more time to make payments
- Improving the online checkout experience
Boosting business with buy now pay later
With iwocaPay, Ecatering’s customers can now spread the cost of their purchases and access immediate credit, giving them the flexibility to buy the equipment they need to get back on track, and then pay later when their sales start to come through. ECatering get paid instantly for every sale, regardless of when customers repay. The team doesn’t have to chase late payments or deal with insurers, freeing up their time to focus on growing the business.
“Thanks to iwocaPay, our customers could focus on getting their businesses back on track – by buying the equipment they needed and then paying later on when sales start to come through.”
– Head of Ecommerce, Ecatering
