Strengthening the Supply Chain Through Supply Chain Financing: Collaboration between PT Astra Mitra Ventura & PT Astra Otoparts Tbk

PT Astra Mitra Ventura and PT Astra Otoparts Tbk announced a joint initiative to expand Supply Chain Financing (SCF) access for tier-2/3 suppliers and automotive SMEs.

With SCF, qualified suppliers can receive early payment based on buyer-approved invoices, improving liquidity, shortening cash cycles, and ensuring on-time delivery across the ecosystem.

How the Collaboration Works

• Buyer-backed invoices: Financing is based on verified PO/invoices from Astra Otoparts and its network.
• Fast disbursement via digital submission and accelerated credit assessment.
• Competitive rate for participating suppliers within the program.
• Capability building on cashflow planning and production scheduling.

“SCF lets SMEs focus on production instead of cashflow gaps. With stronger working capital, suppliers can improve delivery reliability and quality.”

Benefits for Suppliers & SMEs

• Improved working capital and purchase planning.
• Stabilized production and reduced stock-out risks.
• Stronger negotiation power for raw-material procurement.
• Enhanced performance to meet OEM QCD requirements.

This initiative complements supplier development, digitalization, and quality assurance support—targeting sustainable, scalable growth for Indonesia’s automotive manufacturing sector.
