Cash Freed at Target DPO
The business has 23 suppliers and pays them in 30 days on average. 9 are being paid faster than their segment target. "Cash freed at target DPO" is the annualised working-capital effect of moving those to standard terms.
Cash optimisation opportunity
Suppliers are segmented by payment method and size. Credit card payments and small recurring subscriptions (debit orders) are excluded from DPO flags — they already carry float or can't be changed. Flags and targets apply only to discretionary bank payments.
The targets shown are 14-day terms for mid-range suppliers (R2K–R10K) and 30-day terms for large suppliers (R10K+). "Cash freed" is the annualised working-capital effect of moving each segment from its current DPO to that target.
