MMCS

Melbourne Market Credit Service

Fresh State established the Melbourne Market Credit Service (MMCS) in 1992 as a helpful way of assisting buyers and sellers in the Melbourne Market. With over 30 years of experience providing outstanding service and support to all its members, MMCS modernises the accounting processes and improves the cash flow of its members.

When asked about some of the benefits of being a member, Director of Independent Fresh Produce Adrian De Vincentis said he’s had great service.

“We have been using the Melbourne Market Credit Service for 5 years now and have had nothing but positive experiences with their service,” he said.

“As a business owner, using the MMCS gives us peace of mind knowing that we will receive prompt and regular payment from our customers each week which ensures cash flow. It allows buyers to upload invoice adjustments queries and concerns in the easy to use portal for sellers to approve within a timely manner. The fact that this is dealt with in one place is easy for both a buyer and seller to resolve any disputes in an efficient and orderly manner.”

“In addition, being a part of the Bad Debt Fund that the MMCS offers gives us as a business a sense of security, knowing our debt will be recoverable.”

Overall, Adrian recommends becoming a member to everyone.

Another member of the MMCS, Director of Ferrinda Fresh, Ross Ferrinda said that being a member of the Credit Service has been beneficial for him as a seller.

“As a seller, the MMCS have helped to streamline our businesses invoicing process while working together with our accounts department. Making being a member of the MMCS a fast and efficient way to run our business,” he said.

Ross also shed some light on the retailer’s perspective of being a member.

“For our retailers, being a member of the credit service saves them time by simplifying the payment method and turning a multisupplier account into one invoice, one statement, and one payment process.”

Using the Melbourne Markets Credit Service has never been easier. As a retailer there are no fees to join, and you don’t have to carry cash, so you can have peace of mind knowing your entire week’s trade will be accounted for in one simple invoice.
