Helmerich & Payne shares their success with Bavelos managed Early Pay Program
Three critical questions about payables working capital
1. Are you paying your
suppliers too soon?
Every day of DPO yields more
than $25 million cash to an
average F100 company
2. Are you missing out on
early pay discounts?
Every $1 billion of spend can
earn over $3 million in early
pay savings annually
3. Are you getting the
best returns on cash?
Over 50% of cash for early
payment yields better than a
20% annualized rate of return
Does any of this seems like quesswork? We can help.
The Bavelos Group team has helped hundreds of global clients analyze, plan and implement innovative solutions that address these key questions and optimize cash, income and rate of return.

A sampling of our recent work:
Cash strategy for a major
Communications Company
A major communications company was seeking to clarify its options for improving working capital to reduce their overall debt. We assisted Treasury in aligning the organization behind a supply chain finance strategy, defining their unique solution requirements, and facilitating an informed bank vendor selection.
Savings enablement for a
Nationwide Distributor
A nationwide distributor sought to expand savings from early pay discounts without adding new skills to their finance and sourcing teams. We deployed a team to administer and grow their Early Pay Program, tapping expertise in web marketing, call center outreach, payment analytics, terms pricing and project management.
Cash-flow management for a
Global Manufacturer
A global manufacturer needed the means to smooth-out cash flow given wide fluctuations of their quarter-to-quarter demand. We helped define an innovative strategy that combines an Early Pay Program with Supply Chain Finance to selectively deploy cash based on quarterly cash-flow needs.
Procurement strategy for a leading
US Financial Institution
The CPO of a top tier US financial services firm was looking for ways to find savings beyond pure negotiated pricing. We benchmarked their payment history and built a business case for a terms optimization strategy that extended net terms and captured new savings via an Early Pay Discount Program.
The Bavelos Group was instrumental in the success of our working capital initiative.
I’d hesitate to tackle an Early Pay Program or Supply Chain Finance without them.”
