NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tropic, the all-in-one SaaS procurement platform that helps companies optimize their software spend, today announced a partnership with Tranch, a B2B Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) provider, to allow its customers to pay their software costs on their terms. The Tranch partnership is the latest addition to Tropic's robust SaaS procurement solution that streamlines every stage of SaaS purchasing from discovery to purchase to management. In addition to Tropic customers reducing their annual SaaS spend by 20%, the BNPL option gives companies flexibility in payment options, giving high growth companies more control over their cash flow. “In this period of economic uncertainty, cash is definitely king, but effective cash flow management is weighing heavily on the minds of many growing businesses. With software now a top three spending category for most companies, today's businesses need more payment options that offer flexibility, seamlessness and predictability for responsible software spend,” said David Campbell, CEO and co-founder of Tropic. “The addition of a BNPL option is another way Tropic is helping its customers make SaaS buying a strategic advantage, by allowing them to pay on their terms.”
