Peer to Peer networks: Applying the Pareto Principle to optimize your payments

The pareto principle, popularly known as the 80-20-rule, states that 80% of the outcomes are decided by 20% of activities or factors. Whether it is in inventory, product, or supplier management – focusing on the 20% is vital if you want to boost your business efficiency. Likewise, this can be applied to your global payment networks: in most companies, 20% of the suppliers represent 80% of the whole transaction volume.

Focus on what’s most important

Since time and resources of every company are scarce, being able to prioritize proves to be a necessary skill of every successful entrepreneur. Attributed to the Italian Economist Vilfredo Pareto who in the 19th century first described the imbalance between activities/factors and the associated outcomes, the Pareto Principle is a useful rule of thumb that helps companies focusing on what is important.

The distribution, which states that 80% of the output is achieved by an input of only 20%, can also be observed in our everyday business at amnis as around 80% of our customers’ transactions involve roughly the same 20% of their business partners. Building on this experience, we have created our PEER solution that enables customers to create their own peer to peer network and directly pay their beneficiaries without any financial intermediaries who could delay or block the process.

Hence, companies integrated in a peer to peer network at amnis profit from easy, instant and commission free transactions within their network. The shared benefits within the peer to peer network among connected partners is a competitive advantage for all members.
