One B2B collections platform for a multi-country network

Centralizing collections from hundreds of distributors and workshops across multiple countries, without chasing every local bank: that's what Bosch's Automotive Aftermarket division achieved by moving its entire European network onto a single B2B payment platform.

How it works in practice

One panel for the entire collections network

Every B2B client settles invoices and orders on their own from a single portal, without going through accounting: that's how Bosch runs it across its European network.

See how invoice collection works

Self-service Client Portal

Each workshop logs into a white-label private area, checks its statement, and clears arrears in one click, no call to accounting needed.

B2B Payment Methods

Beyond corporate credit cards, the portal accepts Direct Bank Transfer via Open Banking and SDD, matching how each distributor actually pays.

SAP Synchronization

Invoices settled through the portal close on the balance sheet the same instant, thanks to direct two-way communication with the corporate ERP.

Results

Freer cash, an unblocked supply chain

Less time lost on manual reconciliation, more visibility over group cash: the numbers after rolling out the platform.

What holds up enterprise-scale volume

The technical building blocks behind the reliability and compliance a group the size of Bosch needs.

ERP Integration (SAP)

Customer ledgers stay in sync between platform and ERP through dedicated connectors and APIs, with no manual exports.

Open Banking (PIS)

Distributors order irrevocable bank transfers straight from the portal, dropping per-transaction fraud risk to zero.

Multi-Acquirer Orchestration

Each transaction routes to the cheapest acquiring bank for that country, cutting the group's aggregate commission costs.

White-Label Portal

The payment environment stays branded in Bosch colors, so the network sees it as their own tool, not an outside system.

Algorithmic Reconciliation

Collections, invoices, and credit notes match themselves automatically, with no line-by-line manual review.

Hierarchy Management

Country managers, central treasury, and field agents each see only the data relevant to their role, with configurable permissions.

Testimonial

"Moving from dozens of local systems to a single B2B payment platform changed the game. Daevon isn't just a gateway for processing cards, but a true treasury tool that freed our distributors from bureaucracy and allowed the group to slash DSO across Europe."

Frequently asked

Enterprise B2B payments, answered

Banks offer solid current account services, but their technology gateways are often dated and fragmented by country (Interbank Corporate Banking). Daevon adds a software orchestration layer that unifies multi-bank, multi-method, multi-country flows under one interface wired into the ERP.

Through Open Banking (Payment Initiation Service): from the portal, the B2B client picks 'Pay by bank transfer', authorizes the transfer with their own bank, and it fires off immediately with the reference and amount locked. Irrevocability confirmation arrives in real time, so goods can ship the same way they would after a card payment.

No. Daevon exposes modern REST APIs, webhooks, and exports in standard formats (CBI, structured feeds) already built to talk natively to the major Tier 1 ERPs, so nothing starts from scratch.

Yes, considerably. Sales agents often end up chasing debts on the company's behalf. With the portal, agents and end customers see what's overdue on their own and can settle it 24/7 by card or Open Banking. Orders stuck on exhausted credit lines unlock, and agents go back to selling.

Distribution network spread across markets, collections split by bank?
