Company Review

Trend Analysis

DAWSONGROUP consistently demonstrates prompt payment, with an excellent average time of 25 days and 92% of invoices settled within 30 days. This indicates a strong positive trend towards timely financial obligations, suggesting robust and reliable cash flow management.

Volatility Analysis

While 91% of payments are on time or early, 9% are late, with 6% falling into the 31-60 day bracket and 2% exceeding 60 days. This minor but present late payment percentage introduces a slight element of unpredictability for a small portion of transactions, requiring mild vigilance.

Summary Analysis

Overall, DAWSONGROUP presents a low payment risk, characterized by strong payment discipline and a high percentage of on-time settlements. Suppliers can proceed with confidence, though establishing clear payment terms and monitoring any invoices exceeding 30 days is recommended for the small percentage of late payments.

Dispute Resolution Process

Dawsongroup endeavours to pay all invoices within the agreed payment terms, we have a process in place to minimise queries and expediate dispute resolution. Vendors are required to include purchase order numbers (provided by Dawsongroup at the point of order) on all invoices. In the case that an invoice has no PO number quoted our Supplier Liaison department will attempt to manually match the invoice to a PO. If we are unable to locate a PO, Dawsongroup proactively reaches out to suppliers in order to ascertain the PO number. The dedicated Supplier Liaison department is responsible for resolving disputes with invoices should they arise. We communicate in good faith, in a timely manner and consider each query on its own merits. Vendor’s may contact the Supplier Liaison department directly on 01908 218111 or supplierliaison@dawsongroup.co.uk.
