Discover how JITSY transforms global and domestic sourcing with transparency, scalability, and ease – through secure payment methods like the letter of credit to protect your international and domestic purchases.
Introduction
For Indian manufacturers, the reliability of raw material supply whether polymers, chemicals, pigments, or other industrial inputs can make or break growth ambitions. With globalisation, supply chains are more complex, and the risks of advance payments, supplier defaults, or documentation errors are higher than ever.
JITSY is revolutionising procurement for Indian SMEs by offering a seamless, tech-driven platform for both import (foreign) and domestic Letter of Credit (LC) solutions. Whether you’re sourcing polymers from global giants or chemicals from within India, JITSY ensures your business enjoys transparency, speed, and total peace of mind.
Why Letters of Credit (LC) Are Essential for Modern Manufacturing
The Pain Points Manufacturers Face
- Advance Payment Risks: Upfront payments tie up working capital and expose you to supplier defaults.
- Supplier Trust Issues: New or overseas partners may not have a proven track record.
- Documentation & Compliance: International trade demands perfect paperwork—one mistake can mean costly delays.
- Cash Flow Crunches: Long payment cycles and lack of credit options stifle growth.
- Unpredictable Timelines: Without clear contracts and payment guarantees, delivery schedules can slip.
How LC Solve These Problems
A Letter of Credit is a financial instrument issued by a bank (or NBFC), guaranteeing payment to your supplier once all contractual obligations are met. This means:
- No advance payment risk: Your funds are only released when goods are shipped as agreed.
- Stronger negotiation: Suppliers prioritise LC-backed buyers.
- Audit trail: Every step is documented, supporting GST and compliance needs.
- Faster scaling: With credit facilities, you can handle larger orders or multiple suppliers at once.
