A high average collection period translates into a greater need for external financing, along with additional financial costs and interest.
Impact: Every 10 days of DSO above the average represents an additional financial cost of 2–4% per year.
The lack of predictability in collections creates cashflow pressures that affect daily operations and limit investment and growth capacity.
Impact: Loss of early payment discount opportunities (2–5%) and potential urgent financing costs.
Your team spends valuable hours on low-value tasks such as calls, emails, and manual tracking of unpaid invoices instead of focusing on strategic activities.
Impact: Up to 15–20 hours per week per employee on low-value collection admin tasks.
Uncertainty about when collections will materialize makes planning and strategic decision-making difficult for the business.
Impact: 20–30% deviations in cashflow budgets and the need for extra financial buffers.
