Company Review
Trend Analysis
ROBERTSON FACILITIES MANAGEMENT LIMITED exhibits a varied payment trend, with 50% of invoices settled within 30 days, yet the average payment extends to 36 days due to a substantial 44% taking 31-60 days. This indicates that while half of payments are prompt, a significant portion falls into the longer payment cycle, slightly beyond typical net-30 terms.
Volatility Analysis
The 21% late payment rate and 6% of payments extending beyond 60 days introduce a moderate level of unpredictability regarding settlement times. This indicates that approximately one in five invoices may not be paid by the due date, posing a tangible risk to consistent cash flow.
Summary Analysis
ROBERTSON FACILITIES MANAGEMENT LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk, characterized by a mix of prompt and significantly delayed payments, with a quarter of invoices experiencing lateness. Suppliers should consider offering standard net-30 terms but be prepared for an average payment cycle of 36 days and implement robust follow-up for the 21% potentially late payments. For larger contracts, consider requiring earlier payment or implementing a tiered discount for early settlement to mitigate cash flow impact.

Dispute Resolution Process
Any invoice received by Robertson FM must quote a valid Purchase Order number and must be 'Goods Received' ("GRN'd"). Any Purchase Order that is not GRN'd or if there is a positive variance against the PO, the invoice is sent back to the relevant Site Administration team for authorisation to make payment. All invoice queries, which cannot be resolved by Finance, are passed to the site team who will liaise with the supplier directly. As part of the month-end process, Finance will issue the site teams with a list of outstanding invoice queries for their review. This process is currently ongoing to ensure that all invoices are paid in a timely manner and within agreed payment terms.
