HONG KONG, CHINA--(Marketwired - Oct 23, 2016) - Around 40% of the suppliers surveyed in the Asia Pacific region anticipate increasing the use of credit management tools to protect cash flow from B2B customers' late payments over the next year. Nearly half of the suppliers surveyed in the region plan on checking their customers' creditworthiness and payment history significantly more often over the same time frame. This reflects concern over the protection of corporate profitability, which ensures the viability of the business as well as its safe growth.
