Verzögerte Zahlungsabwicklung in der Rohholz-Lieferkette
Definition
The search results indicate that 'sawmills are the most important target market' and 'the construction industry accounts for 67% of sawmill sales, packaging 25%.' This multi-tier supply chain creates long payment cycles. A harvester invoices a sawmill (Net 30–60 days standard), who invoices a construction company (Net 30–60 days). Without early-payment discounting or supply-chain financing platforms, harvesters face 60–90 day DSO (Days Sales Outstanding).
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated 5–10% of annual revenue tied up in working capital (~€340–€680M for €6.8B industry). DSO of 60–90 days = €1.1–€1.68B in outstanding receivables.
- Frequency: Continuous; per invoice cycle (monthly settlements).
- Root Cause: Long commodity supply-chain cycles; lack of supply-chain financing integration; manual invoice verification.
