PursuitBid for manufacturers
Plan cash around materials, inventory, and customer terms, and test big orders, price changes, and hires in scenarios before committing.
Manufacturers pay for materials and labor long before customers pay for finished goods. A large order can be profitable and still leave the business short of cash for weeks, especially when suppliers want payment on delivery and customers pay on 45- or 60-day terms.
PursuitBid keeps the adopted budget fixed while a rolling forecast reflects current orders and costs. The thirteen-week cash outlook uses open receivables, payables, payroll, and explicit timing assumptions to show when cash will be tight, and scenarios test a big order, a price increase on materials, or a new shift before anyone commits.
Things to keep in mind
- PursuitBid is not an ERP or inventory system. Keep production and inventory records in your existing systems.
- Model customer payment timing from real history, not invoice terms.
- Large equipment purchases deserve their own scenario before approval.
How it works
Import the records
Actuals, budgets, receivables, payables, payroll, and operating drivers come in through structured imports.
Plan from drivers
Revenue can be built from volume and price, and costs from run rates, revenue percentages, or headcount.
Watch cash weekly
The thirteen-week outlook shows material payments and payroll against expected customer receipts.
Test the order
A scenario models a large order, a material price change, or an extra shift against the baseline.
