VonWood

Yesterday a featured article came online on the website of Business Age about the changes that are happening in the timber industry and the journey of VonWood and its CEO - David De Jong in this transformation. As he points out, digital transformation is already in full swing in many other industries across the world, but these changes are yet to really take place in the timber industry. Read about the role that VonWood is taking in shaking up the market in the article! https://lnkd.in/eMmx4iZD

We often share information about the timber market, the marketplace, or events and awards, but behind the VonWood platform is a strong team of people who are doing their best every day to improve the way timber is traded in the world today. This week we celebrated this with a BBQ hosted by our CEO David De Jong. As David states in his post Tom Carpenter took the stage and entertained the team with his great voice 🎤. In business and even more so in B2B the human factor is what makes it work. #teamwork #teamcelebration #companyculture #timber #innovation

We're excited to share that finmid has just published a detailed case study highlighting our collaboration with them. We recognise the difficulties faced by both buyers and sellers who often encounter issues of distrust and financial risk, compounded by the inability of traditional financial providers to meet the demand for timely financing. This is where VonWood Pay, powered by finmid, comes into play. Our collaboration offers buyers benefit from flexible cash flow, while sellers receive instant, guaranteed payments. We are committed to revolutionising the timber trade industry by addressing long-standing challenges related to transaction transparency and financial reliability and to help both buyers and sellers to get the most out of their business. Our partnership with finmid has been instrumental in achieving this goal. For more insights into our journey and success, check out the case study in the comments.
