Decathlon and Payer sign agreement on B2B payments
Decathlon signs an agreement with the payment company Payer on a digital invoicing solution for B2B. With the new solution in place, Decathlon saves time and money on reduced administration while improving control of invoice management and post-purchase.
- Sports clubs around Sweden are an important customer group for us. With Payer’s solution, we can simplify invoice management for them. In addition, we can automate the handling of all invoices against companies, which will save a lot of time and money, says Guillaume Pigeard, Retail & B2B Leader at Decathlon. Payer is a strategic partner that in the long run will also be able to help us with B2B solutions for both Swish and our cash registers.
In addition to pure invoice management, the solution also includes the tool Payer Signup which makes it possible for Decathlon to credit review and purchase verify customers at the same time as their company data is filled in automatically.
- With Payer's payment solution, Decathlon can take a big step forward on its digital journey, says Peder Berge, CEO of Payer. Digitization in e-commerce in general has not come as far on the B2B side as in B2C. At the same time, customers' expectations of having just as simple and smooth shopping experiences as on the consumer side are increasing.
