Project cash flow

CogniFlow

Project cash is usually discovered late, in a spreadsheet, by the person least able to act on it. This puts it in front of the people who can.

The problem

Project margin erodes quietly and is reported slowly

Committed cost sits in one system, billing milestones in another and collections in a third. The forward position is reconstructed by hand each month, which means it is always a description of what already happened rather than a warning about what is about to.

  • Cash position known monthly, decisions needed weekly
  • Committed costs invisible until the invoice lands
  • Billing milestones missed because nobody owned the trigger
  • Collections chased by whoever remembered
Capabilities

What it does

01

One forward position

Inflows, outflows, commitments and collections resolved into a single rolling view, refreshed as the source systems move.

02

Commitments tracked from raising

A purchase order becomes a cash event the moment it is committed, not the moment it is invoiced.

03

Billing milestones with owners

Each milestone carries a date, a trigger and a named person, so a slipped bill is visible before the period closes.

04

Collections in the same frame

Outstanding invoices sit against the forward position they affect, rather than in a separate ageing report.
