Introduction to Dorado Finance
Dorado Finance, formerly known as Orion Transportation, embarked on a journey into factoring due to an increased demand for prompt carrier payments. Trace Reddick, reflecting on the company’s transition, stated, “We were doing a lot of quick pays with our carriers to the point where they started coming to us and asking for us to quickly pay all of their loads, even the loads that didn’t involve us.”
The need for a solution arose, leading Dorado Finance to WinFactor™, with Trace recalling, “We found WinFactor™ in the late ’90s. This has been the only software program that we’ve used since.”
