Financial Transmission Network, Inc. (FTNI), a provider of industry-leading integrated receivables, payment processing, and cash application solutions, today announced that Saval Foodservice, the largest locally based, independently owned, broadline foodservice distributor in Maryland, has launched a new customer-facing online payment portal powered by FTNI’s ETran platform.
Saval Foodservice has served Mid-Atlantic independent restaurants, hotels, schools, taverns and pubs from Philadelphia to Roanoke since 1932. Family-owned for over four generations, Saval Foodservice continues its mission to deliver on its promise to provide excellent customer service and unique
quality products.
Saval Foodservice customers now have the ability to access a convenient and contactless online payment portal to view and pay open invoices. The new online payment portal is accessible via the company’s MySaval online ordering site. Once registered, Saval customers now have options to securely view and pay outstanding invoices, schedule future payments, store payment methods for future use, and view past payment history.
“The addition of our new online payment solution not only empowers our customers with convenient and secure payment options, but also is helping to streamline internal A/R operations,” said Mark Holzman, CFO, Saval Foodservice. “The ability to offer our customers contactless online payment options, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, allows us to ensure the safety of our customers and employees.”
Currently used by 60+ leading distribution companies across the U.S. and Canada, ETran has been proven to increase A/R operational efficiencies surrounding payment processing and cash application, while also reducing DSO by more than five days.
ETran’s highly-configurable, modular design allows A/R organizations to efficiently configure the platform to their unique business processes and workflows. The seamlessly integrated solution offers the ability to accept any payment method, from any payment channel, all from a single, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. ETran’s agnostic nature works with any existing bank, merchant processor and back-office system(s) to support increased levels of process automation and efficient integration options.
“FTNI is excited to partner with Saval Foodservice as they continue to deliver their customers with expanded payment options through their MySaval platform,” said John Karhoff, vice president of sales, FTNI. “Saval’s adoption of our ETran platform is a great example of another leading distributor leveraging the power of seamlessly integrated payment processing and cash application automation solutions delivered from a single, cloud-based platform.”
