Our cash management tool provides a snapshot of the state of the business at any time and helps identify areas of concern both in the quality of information for decision making, and to help uncover potential problems in the business itself.

Very different from a traditional cashflow

The cash management tool reads data already in your accounting system and derives useful information by doing additional calculations.

 It enables decision makers to track important relationships between business activity and cash over time. For example, relationships between funding facilities, multipe currencies, different divisions or territories – and alerts the executives responsible. 

Since it's non-destructive, it can be automatically be refreshed every single week.

Relationships and dimensions derived from the data behind it

You could do this with a traditional cash flow, but it would be a lot more work because it's not just a spreadsheet. It has a data model behind it with relationships between the different data – dimensions and relationships that exist separately from the data itself.

And of course, because it's non-destructive, you can have the data available, and you can drill down and look at the actual raw numbers.

The power of granular data

We've spoken before about the importance of doing cash flow management at the level of the transaction, not just at the level of the ratio or the abstraction of one sort or another. And the reason for that is because transactions are actionable. This could be viewed as a way of doing Financial Supply Chain Management.
