Shields Childcare Supplies provides furniture, educational products, and playground equipment to early childhood education centers. As a young, fast-growing supplier, they wanted to give customers more flexibility while protecting their own cash flow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Challenge

Many of Shields’ customers, schools and childcare centers, needed extra time to pay for large orders. Shields wanted to help, but as a small business, extending terms on their own created too much risk.

Without a safe way to offer net terms, they risked losing deals or forcing customers into strict upfront payments.

“We wanted to support our customers with flexible terms, but we couldn’t afford to carry that risk ourselves.” – Shields team

The Turning Point

When a customer requested a Net 90 invoice, Shields had a decision to make: decline the order or find a partner who could make it possible. Resolve stood out for its ability to underwrite risk, fund invoices, and connect directly to QuickBooks, with no major system changes required.

The Solution

Extending Net Terms Without Risk
Resolve enabled Shields to confidently issue net term invoices, with Resolve funding the transaction and managing the credit risk.

Simple Setup With QuickBooks
Instead of reworking their eCommerce checkout, Shields linked Resolve to QuickBooks and managed invoices manually, keeping adoption fast and easy.

Path to Future Growth
This first transaction gave Shields proof they could scale larger deals and build stronger customer trust without external debt.

Results & Impact

  • Closed a deal they couldn’t have otherwise: Without Resolve, the Net 90 order wouldn’t have happened.
  • Stronger customer relationships: Offering terms showed schools and childcare providers that Shields understands their cash flow needs.
  • Confidence for growth: The ability to safely extend terms sets a foundation for bigger sales and future eCommerce integration.
