How Thunnissen saves in construction with dynamic discounting

In modern business, transparency is key. Yet many suppliers still experience a ‘black hole’ after sending their invoice: endless waiting and chasing calls to find out its status. Sound familiar? At Thunnissen, that frustration is a thing of the past.

The need

NCN Capital came across Thunnissen’s path by chance. Dynamic discounting sounded good, but would it catch on in construction? Despite initial scepticism, Thunnissen took the chance. After a successful start, the company saw another opportunity in optimising its invoice processing, and in 2024 chose to combine the solution with Whitevision — a partner that offers smart software for incoming document processing.

The solution

The solution turned out to be popular precisely in construction. Suppliers make full use of the option to be paid earlier in exchange for a discount — which delivers substantial savings for Thunnissen. On top of that: more transparency and efficiency, because suppliers can check the status of their invoices themselves. The combination with Whitevision makes invoice processing faster and simpler, so Thunnissen benefits even more from dynamic discounting.

The benefits at a glance

1. Substantial savings through dynamic discounting.
2. Insight into invoice status gives suppliers transparency.
3. More efficiency, because fewer invoice-related queries come in.
4. The combination with Whitevision simplifies and optimises the process.
5. Excellent communication and support.
6. Continuous development of the platform.
7. Even stronger relationships with suppliers.

"I would really recommend using NCN Capital's solution together with Whitevision. The more construction companies do so, the more benefit it brings to everyone."

A win-win situation

That the results exceed expectations is not down to the discounts alone. “Suppliers have also told us they really appreciate having an overview of their outstanding invoices,” Arlette explains. Invoices come in, are checked and processed via Whitevision, and the supplier can follow the status in the meantime in NCN Capital’s platform. As soon as an invoice is approved, the supplier can have it paid out on the next payment date — after which Thunnissen receives a discount on that invoice.

“A really pleasant party to work with”

Beyond the results, Arlette praises the collaboration. “The lines are very short and that works well. If we have a question or a problem, they solve it in no time — and they also handle calls from our suppliers neatly.” That NCN Capital keeps developing suits Thunnissen: “Our company doesn’t stand still. We’ve gone through a great development that has led to tangible results.”
