SHELTER demonstrates a highly favorable payment trend, with an average payment time of just 10 days. A remarkable 96% of invoices are consistently settled within 30 days, indicating a strong trajectory of swift and efficient payment practices.
Payment predictability is exceptionally high, with only 4% of payments classified as late, and the vast majority settled well within standard terms. The minimal percentages for payments extending beyond 30 days (3%) or 60 days (1%) signal very low volatility and robust financial reliability for suppliers.
SHELTER presents an extremely low-risk payment profile for potential suppliers, characterized by outstanding promptness and consistency. Key decision factors should prioritize their average 10-day payment time and 96% within 30 days, indicating excellent financial management.
