Instant finance with full control: automate operations, reduce administrative workload and improve conversion with Fin4Retail.
At Timestamp, we help businesses that sell directly to end customers to digitise critical processes so they can increase sales, operate more efficiently and make data-driven decisions.
Our Fin4Retail solution was created to address a common challenge: making it easier for customers to buy without turning finance into an internal operational burden. Because when finance is properly integrated, it doesn’t just drive sales, it also brings control, traceability and visibility throughout the entire commercial process.
With Fin4Retail, we have a very clear belief: finance is not just a commercial lever. When it is well integrated, it is also a tool for control, efficiency and business visibility. And when those two things are aligned, results follow.
This solution enables instant finance to be offered directly at the point of sale or online. Everything runs in the cloud, is 100% digital and provides real-time decisions. The customer applies for finance and the system automatically checks with multiple financial institutions until it finds the best available option, with no paperwork, no waiting and no friction.
For sales teams, this means more conversions and a higher average transaction value. But for leadership, it means something just as important: standardised processes, fully traceable operations and clear data from day one.
We work across very different sectors (dental and hearing clinics, automotive, aesthetics, home appliances, travel…) but they all share the same challenge: turning opportunities into real revenue without losing control or time. When you make payment easier for the customer and automate internal management, decisions happen sooner and the business gains structure and order.
Leading companies in their sectors, where finance is essential to closing the sale use our technology to offer finance.
The platform also centralises customer communication, removes manual tasks and reduces the team’s operational workload. All documentation is digital, rules and criteria are managed centrally, and every transaction is recorded. This makes it possible to get a true view of commercial performance, identify bottlenecks, and measure which channels, products or teams perform best.
That’s where many sales and finance directors see the real value: more sales, yes, but also more profitable ones, with continuous and proactive control over the financing cost. It also reduces reliance on specific individuals, minimises administrative errors and improves control of cash flow. Finance stops being a patch and becomes part of the business system.
Our differentiator is our hands-on support. We analyse each company, its customer profile and day-to-day operations to adapt to its reality. We come from a commercial background, we speak the same language, and we know generic solutions rarely work.
At Timestamp, we combine technology, business know-how and a results-driven mindset to help our clients scale operations and improve conversion without losing control. Fin4Retail is a clear example of that vision: a solution designed to integrate finance in a way that is simple for customers and governable for the business.
