Labour hire businesses operate on tight margins and fast-moving schedules. Point Force paid staff weekly, yet invoices could take 30 to 60 days to be paid. Clients regularly requested crews at short notice, creating unpredictable demand and additional onboarding costs.

Even minor payment delays created financial stress, while statutory obligations like super, insurance and payroll tax had to be met on time. Traditional finance options such as overdrafts and loans came with lock-ins, interest charges and limited flexibility.

By integrating Marmalade’s Payments on Demand platform, Point Force Labour was able to smooth out cash flow without relying on credit. They began issuing invoices with updated payment details, giving them the option to be paid on the same day, no interest, no repayments and no personal guarantees.

The team also benefited from automated payment matching and professional follow-ups on overdue invoices. The receivables process became faster, cleaner and far less reliant on manual follow-up or external collections.

• Weekly payroll funded without borrowing
• Fast access to cash from unpaid invoices
• No lock-ins, no security, no guarantees
• Up to 30 hours/month saved on AR admin
• Greater flexibility to respond to client demand

“Marmalade has given us the freedom to run payroll with confidence, no matter when clients pay. We can respond to demand without hesitation, stay compliant and avoid the burden of loans or finance facilities. It’s taken real pressure off our team and helped us grow without second-guessing our cash flow.”
