Looking for an alternative to legacy vendors?
Discount Flow's No Cost Enterprise Plan is a dynamic discounting tool built for mid-market companies. Unlike legacy vendors, it requires no ERP integration, no subscription, and can be set up in under a day. Suppliers pay nothing; the Est. Annual % can reach ~24% on cash they were going to spend anyway.
The No Cost Enterprise Plan: An Alternative to Legacy Vendors for Mid-Market Dynamic Discounting
Some legacy vendors, like C2FO and SAP Taulia, run powerful platforms — but they are built for enterprise buyers with complex ERP environments and long implementation timelines. Mid-market companies with $10M–$500M in revenue need something that works in days, not months, and costs nothing for suppliers.

What's Included in the No Cost Enterprise Plan for Suppliers?
Discount Flow is software you operate: the Discount Flow product is covered by the No Cost Enterprise Plan for all users. Profit Flow (Refundable Customer Deposit documentation) uses separate monthly tier pricing based on usage volume — full schedule visible in your account after signup. The supplier experience — discount offers, buyer invitations, PDF confirmations, document attachments — remains part of the No Cost Enterprise Plan, with no transaction fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Discount Flow integrate with my ERP?
Not required. You can manually upload invoices and manage offers through the web interface. API access is available for companies that want to integrate — contact us for details.
Can I use Discount Flow alongside a legacy vendor programme?
Yes. There is no exclusivity requirement. Many suppliers use Discount Flow for direct relationships that are not covered by their buyer's C2FO or SAP Taulia programme.
What happens when a buyer accepts an offer?
Discount Flow sends both parties a confirmation receipt (PDF) with the full terms, accepted amount, and payment due date. The buyer then transmits payment directly to the supplier via their existing payment method. Discount Flow never holds funds.
