Company Review

Trend Analysis

The payment trend for VAN ELLE LIMITED demonstrates a strong inclination towards extended payment terms, with the average payment time being 60 days. A significant majority, 87% (41% + 46%), of invoices are paid beyond 30 days, indicating a consistent pattern of longer payment cycles for suppliers. Less than half of payments are made within 60 days, suggesting a trajectory where payments frequently extend beyond standard net 30 or even net 60 terms.

Volatility Analysis

The distribution of payments reveals considerable volatility, with a substantial 46% of invoices extending beyond 60 days, making future cash flow less predictable. While 41% pay between 31-60 days, the large percentage over 60 days indicates a clear risk of significantly delayed payments for a substantial portion of transactions. Suppliers should anticipate that nearly half of payments could be subject to delays exceeding typical credit terms, impacting working capital management.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers considering VAN ELLE LIMITED should anticipate extended payment cycles and a high probability of payments exceeding 60 days. It is recommended to negotiate specific payment terms carefully, such as shorter net terms or requiring upfront deposits for new engagements, to mitigate potential cash flow strains. Close monitoring of invoice due dates and prompt follow-up will be essential to manage the inherent risk of delayed payments effectively.

Dispute Resolution Process

When an invoice is received and there is no proof of delivery the site teams are contacted by the finance team to provide the proof of delivery. Where no proof of delivery is available internally, the vendor is contacted by the finance team for a copy of the proof of delivery. If no proof of delivery is then obtained, approval is obtained internally from senior management. Where there is a variance to the purchase order, the purchase order creator is contacted by the finance team to review and approve the invoice variance. Disputes relating to payment terms are dealt with by the purchasing department (except for a maximum tolerance level of £15, which is reported and monitored)
