“We were using Western Union for our spot transactions before, but getting support was impossible. HedgeFlows is much more competitive and give us the stability we need. Whenever we need support, we get it straightaway.”

The drop of the pound
The economic situation and the position of the Dollar ($) against the Pound (£) have been a concern for both Eddie and Davy in the last couple of months.
A friend recommended HedgeFlows saying it was simple and easy to use. Flexibility and stability are the main reasons why the team now rely on HedgeFlows.
A flexible solution
Booking exchange rates in advance with HedgeFlows provides the stability Cable Analytics need to remain competitive. As Davy and Eddie prepare their purchase orders, they use HedgeFlows to track exchange rates automatically. When rates reach their target, they can easily book the guaranteed exchange in advance without having to block any cash.
A few weeks or months later, they use the booked Dollar rate to pay the invoices.
Prebooking dollars to remain competitive
Securing the right exchange rate — The drop in the Pound could have potentially hurt them, but they had the option to hedge a previous rate. The HedgeFlows team was very supportive even after terms expired, providing the flexibility and assistance to help them through tough periods.
Saving money and remaining competitive — The team at Cable Analytics has saved a total of £3,500 so far by prebooking their exchange rates up to 12 months in advance. Some extra cash they can now use to promote their business.
