01 — The operation

A Barcelona-based food and beverage distributor operates one of the city's mid-sized foodservice distribution networks, serving more than 500 customers across the city — restaurants, small retailers and hotels. They run a daily delivery operation with their own fleet, and like most distributors in the region, ran on cash-on-delivery until this pilot.

02 — The pilot

CUBRINX replaced the distributor's existing ERP-adjacent payment collection layer with a digital payment workflow — orders, delivery confirmation, automated invoicing, and a 48-hour net-term credit window for eligible accounts. No hardware. No integration project. Live in under a week.

The cohort was 50 hand-picked accounts — customers the distributor already trusted but had never been able to offer credit terms to, because the infrastructure to manage it didn't exist. The pilot ran for six weeks and is still active.
