Qwil, Powered by LSQ, and TAPFIN Expand Early-Pay Opportunities to Staffing Suppliers of Major Energy-Sector Client

ORLANDO, Fla., April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LSQ, a leading provider of working capital finance and payments solutions, and Talent Solutions TAPFIN, a leading managed service provider (MSP) for contingent workforces and part of the ManpowerGroup family of brands, today announced an expansion of their Qwil partnership to include staffing firms serving one of the world's largest providers of products and services for the ever-evolving needs of the energy industry.

Qwil is LSQ's early-payment embedded finance solution for staffing suppliers. Suppliers in eligible programs can get paid as soon as invoices are approved, regardless of original payment terms.

"As the economy continues to evolve and credit gets tighter, working capital becomes more important than ever," said LSQ Chief Operating Officer Richard Lee. "The Qwil solution, buoyed by the ease of use within TAPFIN, helps deliver working capital liquidity by allowing staffing suppliers to get paid earlier."

Staffing suppliers that choose to enroll with Qwil continue to work in the program with TAPFIN as usual but are paid by Qwil. According to Lee, creating flexibility and ease of use were paramount when designing the early-payment program. Suppliers can accelerate payments on an invoice-by-invoice basis and can elect to take all, some or none of the early funding available until the original contract due date.

Qwil enrollment is free for all suppliers using TAPFIN to manage their relationship with the energy company.

"TAPFIN is excited about the power that the Qwil solution provides to our suppliers," David Gay, Managing Director, Process Excellence at TAPFIN said. "This enables a more effective partnership with TAPFIN to meet our clients' needs despite what can sometimes be challenging payment terms. The optionality that the solution provides benefits all involved, with little to no upfront costs and minimal effort for the suppliers, our clients, or TAPFIN."

Qwil's early-payment solution works alongside existing credit facilities, and offers another important financial tool in the toolkit for staffing suppliers to accelerate growth of their businesses. More information about the program can be found on Qwil's website.
