Supply Chain
Solutions.

Companies operating in technical supply chains often manage orders across multiple countries, currencies, and lead times.

When paying overseas manufacturers or sourcing specialised equipment, even small inefficiencies in currency handling can lead to increased costs and pressure on working capital.

Orbis Exchange works with engineering and industrial supply companies to ensure that international payments are handled with speed and precision.

We help improve how foreign currencies are managed within procurement cycles, allowing finance teams to focus on delivery rather than reacting to market volatility.

Industry
Pressures.

For companies in industrial supply, supplier payments are often high-value, time-sensitive, and spread across jurisdictions.

Currency exposure becomes especially challenging when working with manufacturers that price in Euros or USD while the home operation runs in GBP.

Rate fluctuations during a supply agreement or between invoice and settlement can affect landed costs and profitability.

Internal finance teams also face administrative strain when juggling multiple currencies without the tools or processes to manage them efficiently.

Inconsistent rates, slow execution, and poor visibility on timing all contribute to reduced financial control and increased operational risk.

Targeted
FX Solutions.

Orbis Exchange supports engineering and industrial supply companies by improving the flow and management of foreign currency transactions.

We provide access to competitive exchange rates, allow clients to convert currencies when it best supports their cash flow, and help reduce the administrative complexity of multi-currency operations.

Clients benefit from local currency accounts to streamline payments to international suppliers and have the option to use forward contracts to fix exchange rates ahead of high-value orders.

Each account is managed by a dedicated foreign exchange specialist who works closely with the finance team to reduce risk, align timing, and support clear financial planning.
