Collaboration with finmid

At VonWood, we're not just passionate about modernising the B2B timber industry, we're revolutionising it. As pioneers, we seek bold, innovative partners who share our vision. That's why we chose finmid – their dedication to digitization and expertise in B2B financing perfectly align with our mission to build a future-proof timber industry. 

"David de Jong, VonWood: finmid shares our pioneering spirit and vision. With their solutions and our platform, we're empowering both buyers and sellers to thrive in this rapidly changing market."

A Shared Vision for Innovation 

From the outset, we saw eye-to-eye with finmid's commitment to pushing boundaries. Their cutting-edge solutions and deep understanding of the needs of B2B marketplaces resonated with our desire to offer revolutionary financial tools to our clients. This partnership empowers us to transform how our clients buy and sell wood, and this is just the beginning. With finmid by our side, we're rewriting the rules of the timber trade.

Minck Hermans, VonWood: “We’ve spend a tremendous amount of time reviewing various B2B financing platforms, and right away it was clear: finmid is the perfect provider that offers us end-to-end solutions, tailored to our own and buyers and sellers’ needs.”

Empowering Buyers and Sellers with Cutting-Edge Solutions

Through our collaboration with finmid, we're not just offering extended payment terms, we're setting the standard. Our buyers gain unparalleled flexibility to manage their cash flow, access new opportunities, and stay ahead of the competition. For sellers, it's about unprecedented financial security. finmid's fast and guaranteed payments ensure they get their money quickly, eliminating the risks associated with bad debt and boosting their competitiveness in this evolving market.

Already, many buyers and sellers have benefited from this partnership. Take, for example, a medium sized family-owned sawmill. By leveraging our extended payment terms, they were able to invest in new, energy-efficient sawmill equipment months earlier than usual. This not only increased their production by 20% but also reduced their carbon footprint by 15%, positioning them for a more sustainable and profitable future.

Max Schertel, finmid: “We believe in the power of moving traditional industries online and look forward to the great potential that VonWood is bringing to the timber industry.”

A Seamlessly Integrated Partnership for the Future 

Our platform's intuitive integration with finmid's solutions eliminates complex paperwork and outdated processes. Buyers and sellers can easily access and choose preferred payment terms directly within the marketplace. This seamless experience reflects our commitment to making financial solutions readily available and accessible to everyone in the timber supply chain, essentially moving this sometimes archaic trade into the future.
