Industrial and contractor supplies buying group AD has added Suppli as a preferred service provider.

Suppli — a digital account receivables (AR) platform — enables construction distributors and suppliers to “turn their credit department into an advantage.” The company builds payment and finance tools for businesses to utilize.

“Given our mission overlap of supporting independent distributors, we couldn’t be more excited to partner with AD,” Suppli Co-founder and CEO Ryan Ayers said in an Aug. 22 news release. “This stamp of approval is a testament to the quality of the Suppli platform and our singular focus on building tools that help independent distributors level the playing field when it comes to managing accounts receivable, payments and their customer experience.”

AD — a member-owned organization — consists of more than 5,000 branches from over 850 independently-owned members. The company achieved 2023 annual sales of more than $75 billion across nine industries and three countries.

“Our team was equally impressed by Suppli’s comprehensive feature set and their thoughtfulness in designing a platform that’s accessible for independent distributors of various sizes,” AD Senior Procurement Manager of Professional Service Sebatian Gruenheid said. “Delivering value to AD members was underscored by the incredibly strong feedback we received around the quality of Suppli’s ongoing customer support.”

The partnership with AD will expand Suppli’s existing relationships with AD members.
