The counterparty lens — spend, terms and supply risk, with the cash and continuity move for each partner.
Paying to terms frees $6M of cash at no cost to profit — DPO sits at 41d vs the 45-day target. Capture it, dual-source the 2 at-risk suppliers, and consolidate the top tier before lead times stretch.
4 of 4 headline metrics improving vs prior · still off target: DPO (Days Payable) 41d vs 45d, Blended Gross Margin 33.5% vs 35.0%, Cash Conversion Cycle 31d vs 25d
Motorola Solutions & Hanwha Vision carry medium+ supply risk and softer delivery — a single stretch in lead times can stall installs.
$6M of cash stays in the business by moving DPO from 41d to the 45-day target on $232M of spend — no hit to margin.
Axis Communications ($64M) and Honeywell ($58M) are 53% of spend — concentrating volume earns rebates and priority allocation.
$232M of equipment runs through six partners. This view turns that into two moves: a $5.720821917808219M cash release from paying to terms, and a dual-source plan for the 2 suppliers whose delivery risk could stall installs.
Two partners are 53% of spend — the negotiation priorities.
Each card: spend, reliability and the specific move.
