Need for a technology partner
Companies like Demica help to maintain financial liquidity and increase creditworthiness. However, with millions of invoices a day being financed through countless different financial structures by hundreds of different banks, an incredibly flexible platform is required to support the market.
As a part of building a solution for this problem, Demica reached out to us for expertise in software development to act as its nearshore partner.

Scope of work
Demica partnered with us, initially with a requirements engineering process, to identify the needs of a new functionality and propose the best technology solution. We created an infrastructure to demonstrate how the software would work, before rolling out various phases of the solution, step by step.
Demica initially chose to work with a nearshore partner for budget reasons but by partnering with us, the company also gained operational flexibility. Our usage of agile methodologies, including DSDM, enabled the teams to perfect the project results as Demica’s commercial requirements evolved over the 3 years the firms worked together.
With $16 billions of funded programme and growing at 40% per year, Demica’s award-winning platform is recognised as the market leader in the working capital finance sector. Future Processing has been a valuable partner to our in-house technology team as we built the platform to realise our vision to transform how working capital is financed. Delivering top-notch solutions in an agile manner, other Future Processing’s customers can expect a reliable and responsive team.
What we did together
Through a close partnership between our and Demica’s internal development team, the platform has been enhanced with an improved architecture that enables over 20 million invoices to be processed each day, as it scales both horizontally and vertically.
Advanced rules engine algorithms drive preferred outcomes, such as higher advance rates or optimal risk distribution outcomes. While a significantly improved graphical user interface reduces transaction implementation time from weeks to hours.
The operational agility allows Demica to rapidly scale the team up and down and quickly respond to client demands, setting the company apart from its competition in the working capital finance market.
