Tender & bid/no-bid
Estimate project cash exposure and compare opportunities before committing financial capacity.
About CashflowPot
A focused construction cash-flow decision tool.
CashflowPot simulates how expected project execution, contract terms and forecasting assumptions translate into receipts, payments, working capital and funding requirements.
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 has changed repeatedly. In those situations, the financial question is different from the detailed planning question.
CashflowPot uses a mathematical execution model and explicit commercial 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 for contractor financing discussions.
Lender review
Challenge assumptions, reproduce scenarios and understand why two cash-flow views differ.
Mid-project reforecast
Rebuild the remaining cash view when historic programme loading is no longer the best representation of 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, contract terms and assumptions are expected to turn into cash received and cash paid. 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 execution, contract terms and assumptions change.
