Check It Out: August 2024

Another month over, and what a month it’s been:

?? Taylor Swift continued to smash records with her string of London shows, thousands of screaming fans in tow

?? 10,500 Olympians and millions of spectators descended on Paris, inspiring some Hokodo-themed memes (still waiting for our viral moment)

?? Liam and Noel Gallagher have set aside their differences for the greater good… or for a really massive pay day

And Hokodo has continued to pump out the good stuff, despite many members of our team taking some well-earned holiday. As we look ahead to a new month, here’s a wrap up of what we've been up to in August.

X marks the spot… ???

Our B2B marketplaces map isn’t a pirate’s treasure map… but if it was there would be Xs all over the place, because the industry is brimming with innovative platforms connecting buyers and sellers across Europe.?

Until now, the map has been an exclusive for members of our B2B Marketplaces Knowledge Hub, but we’re feeling kind of generous, so we’re making it accessible to you, your colleagues, your mates, your nan and your dog. No strings attached.?

So, as a recap:

• Not great for pirates (boo)
• Absolutely top tier for navigating the seven seas of B2B marketplaces (yay)
• Yours, for free, right now (double yay)

The main event(s) ??

We’re excited to attend and sponsor Savant B2B eCommerce on 3rd and 4th of September (that’s next week!)

Want to know what it’s really like to work at Hokodo? ??

• Have you ever wondered what it takes to be part of Hokodo’s credit team??
• Interested in learning about a day in the life of a fintech Talent Partner?
• Wondering if “Knocking on doors and threatening debtors with a baseball bat” is on the job description for a Collections Manager? (disclaimer: it isn't)

We asked a group of Hokodians to spill the proverbial beans about their roles, the Hokodo team, our values, culture and more. Here’s what they told us.

• A day in the life of a Credit Manager
• A day in the life of a Senior Talent Partner
• A day in the life of a Collections Manager

Calculator, alligator: discover the ROI of payment terms ??

ROI. That’s ‘return on investment’ to us common folk, and it’s basically like asking “But what do I get out of it?”

We’ve developed an ROI calculator that makes it easier than ever for you to get an idea of all the benefits that come with integrating one of our digital trade credit solutions.

Fill out a few data points, wait a second while our army of mathematicians run the numbers et voila: you’ll receive an estimate of the additional revenue and cost savings you’re likely to see when working with Hokodo.?

That’s all for another month, folks. It’s Friday afternoon. Summer is almost over. Get off LinkedIn. Go outside and touch some grass.?
