Nube de Barro joined Paid in 15 after its Puebla studio noticed that independent clay suppliers were carrying the cost of materials for too long after each order. The business makes small batches of tableware, and its production calendar depends on clay, glaze, and packing materials arriving when promised. The owners introduced a shared invoice register, confirmed receipt of goods by message, and set twice-monthly payment runs so that no small supplier waited beyond 15 days. In the first four months, 21 of 23 invoices met the target, up from 13 of 23 in the previous period. The two exceptions were discussed openly and paid on days 16 and 18 after invoice details needed correction. The studio also began placing orders earlier rather than relying on last-minute purchases. Owner Lucía Hernández says the pledge made cash-flow planning more disciplined on both sides. A monthly review now tracks payment dates and flags any delay before it becomes a pattern.
