Just-In-Time Payments with RTP®, FedNow®, and Inventory Management

Pay When You Need It — Inventory-Driven RTP® Precision

Revolutionize Inventory Finance with RTP® and Just-In-Time Settlement
In today’s lean supply chain economy, every second counts—and so does every dollar. By combining inventory management with Real-Time Payments (RTP®) and FedNow®, businesses can initiate Just-In-Time Payments exactly when materials or stock are needed. This precise timing dramatically reduces holding costs, improves liquidity, and drives supply chain responsiveness. Integrated with QuickBooks® QBO and Elavon’s secure payment gateway, the result is a real-time financial workflow that optimizes both capital and operations.

At TodayPayments.com, we bring together real-time payment rails, inventory automation, and accounting synchronization to create a Just-In-Time Payment platform powered by RTP® and FedNow®. Through integration with Elavon and QuickBooks®, we help businesses eliminate excess inventory, speed up settlement, and gain full control of operational cash flow.

Cost of Inventory – Just-In-Time Payment enables businesses to schedule payments only when items are consumed or reordered. Triggered by ERP, warehouse, or procurement systems, RTP® ensures those payments are settled instantly—with irrevocable finality.

Our advanced solution, Today Payments' ISO 20022 Payment Initiation (PAIN.013), demonstrates how to create a Real-Time Payments Request for Payment file that sends a clear message from the creditor (payee) to its bank. Most financial institutions support the import of messaging and batch files for both FedNow® and Real-Time Payments (RtP), ensuring smooth processing. Once the file is correctly uploaded, the creditor’s bank processes the payment through a secure "Payment Hub"—with The Clearing House serving as the RtP Hub—and relays the message to the debtor's (payer's) bank. This streamlined approach not only accelerates transaction processing but also enhances transparency and reliability for all parties involved.
