Company Review

Trend Analysis

SOJITZ EUROPE PLC demonstrates a strong trend for prompt payments, with an average payment time of 20 days. A significant 77% of payments are consistently made within 30 days, indicating a strong inclination towards timely remittance.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the fast average, a notable 45% of payments are recorded as late, introducing an element of unpredictability regarding specific payment due dates. While only 2% extend beyond 60 days, the 21% falling into the 31-60 day bracket suggests a non-negligible portion of invoices may not adhere to standard 30-day terms.

Summary Analysis

Overall, SOJITZ EUROPE PLC is a generally reliable payer, with a high probability of receiving payment within 30 days. Suppliers should factor in the 45% late payment rate, preparing for potential delays beyond standard terms for a minority of invoices. It is recommended to establish clear payment terms and consider proactive follow-up for invoices approaching the 30-day mark to mitigate cash flow variability.
