Schedule Payments at the Right Time, Not Just the First Time

Campfire reviews approved invoices alongside available cash and upcoming obligations to recommend when each payment should be made. It takes into account supplier terms, early payment discounts, and projected cash position to determine the most suitable release date. Payment runs can be set by frequency, method, currency, and entity, with structured approval workflows in place before anything is processed. This gives finance teams a controlled and consistent way to manage outgoing payments while keeping flexibility across different parts of the business.

Protect Cash While Capturing Discount Opportunities

Campfire helps teams hold onto cash where it makes sense, without missing valuable early payment discounts. Instead of paying invoices as soon as they are approved, the system identifies the best timing based on cost and benefit. Discount-eligible invoices are flagged and prioritised, helping ensure savings are captured consistently. This approach supports stronger working capital management by balancing cash retention with smart payment timing. Finance teams can meet obligations, reduce unnecessary early payments, and still take advantage of cost-saving opportunities when they arise.

Maintain Control With Full Visibility and Audit Trails

Campfire provides clear payment run dashboards showing scheduled, pending, and completed payments in one place. Each transaction includes a full audit trail, covering approver details, execution timestamps, and bank confirmation references. Built-in segregation of duties ensures that payment creation, approval, and release are handled by different authorised staff, reducing risk and strengthening internal controls. This structure helps protect against fraud while giving auditors complete visibility into how and when payments were approved and processed.
