Ranked in 4 industries
This company is listed under more than one industry, so we show its position in each rather than picking one.
SRL TRAFFIC SYSTEMS LIMITED consistently pays within 31-60 days, with 49% of payments falling into this range, indicating a clear trend of payments extending beyond standard 30-day terms. The average payment time of 37 days reinforces this pattern, suggesting a predictable trajectory of payments often occurring in the second month.
While a majority of payments occur within 60 days, the 10% extending over 60 days and 25% classified as late introduce moderate volatility and risk to cash flow predictability. This indicates that a notable portion of payments can be significantly delayed, impacting the reliability of expected payment dates.
Suppliers should anticipate an average payment time of 37 days, with a high likelihood of payments extending into the 31-60 day bracket, and a material risk of significant delays. To mitigate the risk associated with 25% late payments, consider adjusting payment terms, implementing upfront deposits for larger orders, or setting conservative credit limits.
