Estimate project cash exposure and compare opportunities before committing financial capacity.
About CashflowPot
A focused construction cash-flow decision tool.
CashflowPot simulates how expected Work, Scheduled Cost, contract terms, forecasting assumptions and financing facilities translate into receipts, payments, funding requirements and financed cash position.
Why it exists
Financial decisions often cannot wait for a detailed programme update.
A contractor may need a tender cash-flow view before a detailed resource-loaded programme exists. A bank may need to test a contractor's funding request. A management team may need a mid-project cash position after the programme, procurement timing or financing structure has changed repeatedly. In those situations, the financial question is different from the detailed planning question.
CashflowPot uses a mathematical execution model, direct Scheduled Cost and explicit commercial/financing inputs so a credible scenario can be built and revised quickly.
Where it helps
Built around construction financial decisions.
Financing
Prepare and test working-capital requirements, financing facilities and debt exposure for contractor financing discussions.
Lender review
Challenge contract assumptions, facility limits and repayment behavior, reproduce scenarios and understand why two cash-flow views differ.
Mid-project reforecast
Rebuild the remaining cash view when historic programme loading, Scheduled Cost or financing assumptions no longer represent current commercial reality.
Different purpose
Planning detail and cash-flow simulation answer different questions.
Detailed planning systems can provide programme logic and time-phased Work or cost. CashflowPot focuses on how execution, project costs, contract terms, assumptions and financing are expected to turn into cash received, cash paid, outstanding debt and funding requirement. The two can complement each other, but CashflowPot does not require detailed planning data when the decision does not justify that effort.
Product philosophy
A forecast designed to be revised
Build the cash-flow view needed for the decision now, then revise it as Work, Scheduled Cost, contract terms and financing assumptions change.
