Dispute resolution process
Dawsongroup endeavours to pay all invoices within the agreed payment terms, we have a process in place to minimise queries and expediate dispute resolution.
Vendors are required to include purchase order numbers (provided by Dawsongroup at the point of order) on all invoices.
In the case that an invoice has no PO number quoted our Supplier Liaison department will attempt to manually match the invoice to a PO. If we are unable to locate a PO, Dawsongroup proactively reaches out to suppliers in order to ascertain the PO number.
The dedicated Supplier Liaison department is responsible for resolving disputes with invoices should they arise. We communicate in good faith, in a timely manner and consider each query on its own merits.
Vendor’s may contact the Supplier Liaison department directly on 01908 218111 or supplierliaison@dawsongroup.co.uk.
