Company Review
Trend Analysis
SHS INTERNATIONAL LTD exhibits a consistent trend of extended payment times, averaging 72 days per invoice. Only 20% of payments are made within 30 days, with the majority (80%) taking longer, including 39% over 60 days and 20% explicitly designated as late. This indicates a predictable pattern of slower cash conversion for suppliers engaging with this company.
Volatility Analysis
The payment distribution, showing 20% prompt, 41% within 31-60 days, and 39% over 60 days, highlights some variability but a strong tendency towards longer payment cycles. The explicit 20% late payment rate further introduces significant predictability concerns for supplier cash flow. This combination of extended average and notable late payments points to a moderate reliability risk.
Summary Analysis
Suppliers should anticipate an average payment cycle of 72 days from SHS INTERNATIONAL LTD, coupled with a significant 20% risk of invoices being paid explicitly late. It is recommended to establish longer payment terms or consider requiring partial upfront payments to mitigate potential cash flow strain. Close monitoring of payment performance and robust collection strategies will be crucial for managing this supplier relationship effectively.
