SAVANTA GROUP LIMITED maintains an average payment time of 28 days, which sits within a broadly acceptable range for most supplier terms. However, the distribution reveals a concerning spread, with 37% of payments falling in the 31–60 day band and a further 8% exceeding 60 days, indicating that the headline average is skewed by faster payments masking a significant volume of delayed settlements. The 55% within-30-day rate suggests that while timely payment is achievable for this company, it is not consistently applied across all transactions.
A late payment rate of 35% represents a notable reliability concern, meaning more than one in three invoices is not settled on agreed terms. The wide spread across payment bands — from under 30 days to over 60 days — points to high variability in payment behaviour, making cash flow forecasting difficult for suppliers. This unpredictability introduces meaningful working capital risk, particularly for suppliers operating on tighter liquidity margins.
SAVANTA GROUP LIMITED presents a moderate-to-elevated payment risk profile that warrants careful consideration before extending standard credit terms. Suppliers should consider shortening payment terms to 14–21 days to compensate for the 35% late payment rate, or implementing proactive invoice chasing processes at the 25-day mark. Credit limits should be set conservatively, and new suppliers in particular may benefit from requesting partial upfront payment until a reliable payment pattern is established.
