Cash management for wholesalers
Wholesalers typically find cash tied up in working capital from stock, good in transit and debtors making strong cash flow management a vital task. foreCASH allows wholesalers to prepare both long term forecasts (up to 5 years) and to produce very detailed weekly, and daily, cash flow forecasts for the next few months.
Invoice Finance and wholesaler cash flows
Many wholesalers use invoice finance as a key part of their lending arrangements. foreCASH can model multiple invoice finance facilities, for example where a key account has its own facility, or where overseas sales have a separate facility. Lenders typically limit the maximum proportion of your allowable ledger that can come from a single client – failure to allow for this cap can cause a cash flow shock – foreCASH has built in features to anticipate this issue.
Import VAT, import Duty and Cash flow
Importers can find that bulk shipments arriving into the UK causing spikes in their cash flow as import duty and VAT fall due. foreCASH specifically models these cash flows ensuring these cash demands are foreseen and managed.
