Company Review
Trend Analysis
The company's average payment time is 43 days, indicating a tendency to pay beyond standard 30-day terms despite 80% of invoices being settled within this period. A notable 20% of payments are consistently late, with 14% extending significantly beyond 60 days, showing a persistent tail of very slow payments.
Volatility Analysis
Payment reliability is mixed; while the majority of invoices are paid promptly, a consistent 20% late payment rate introduces significant unpredictability for a portion of transactions. The 14% of payments exceeding 60 days represents a clear risk factor for cash flow, making it challenging to forecast exact payment dates for all invoices.
Summary Analysis
Suppliers should prepare for an average 43-day payment cycle, acknowledging that while 80% pay within 30 days, 20% will be late, with 14% taking over 60 days. It is advisable to factor in potential cash flow delays for a portion of invoices and consider mitigation strategies like staggered payments or credit limits for higher value engagements.
