FTRANS Corp. operates as a financial technology firm providing specialized services in collateral monitoring and accounts receivable management, primarily targeting the commercial and industrial loan portfolios of banks. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company carved a niche by facilitating working capital access for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the United States.
The company's business model centers on a proprietary Software as a Service (SaaS) platform built with Microsoft .NET technologies. This platform functions as an interchange, processing transactions between B2B sellers, their buyers, and banking institutions. For its banking clients, FTRANS offers technology-enabled collateral monitoring, which provides lenders with a real-time, web-based view of a borrower's working capital collateral, thereby making lending to smaller businesses more secure and profitable. For its SMB clients, FTRANS offers a comprehensive accounts receivable and credit management solution that accelerates cash flow, enabling businesses to receive payment on invoices within a few days rather than the typical industry average of over 50 days. This is achieved by facilitating asset-based lines of credit, either directly or through partner banks.
A key figure in the company's leadership was CEO Dan Drechsel, a seasoned executive with a deep background in finance and technology. His career includes leadership positions at major enterprises like ADP and SAP, and his financial acumen, supported by an MBA from Mercer University and a B.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology, was instrumental in steering the company. FTRANS demonstrated significant growth, earning a spot on the Inc. 500 list in 2009 after posting 718% growth and the Inc. 5000 list in 2010. The company was later acquired by GemCap Solutions.
