Trend Analysis
Vodafone Sales & Services Limited consistently processes payments beyond a 30-day term, with a substantial 64% of invoices settled between 31 and 60 days. The average payment time of 42 days indicates a clear trend for suppliers to expect payment in the mid-term rather than within a standard 30-day cycle.
Volatility Analysis
Payment behavior appears highly predictable, as 98% of invoices are paid within 60 days, and only 2% extend beyond this period. The overall late payment rate of 7% suggests minimal significant volatility or frequent extreme delays, indicating a reliable payment pattern.
Summary Analysis
Vodafone Sales & Services Limited presents a low-risk payment profile, but suppliers must factor in consistently longer payment cycles, with an average of 42 days. Suppliers should align cash flow planning and set payment terms reflecting a 45-60 day expectation to effectively manage working capital and mitigate potential short-term liquidity issues.

For procurement from other Vodafone Group companies Vodafone Sales & Services Limited’s payment terms are up to 120 days.
