PursuitBid for raw materials businesses
Plan cash and test scenarios around commodity prices, seasonal shipments, and large equipment purchases for quarries, mining, and materials suppliers.
Raw materials businesses sell into markets that move, ship in seasonal patterns, and buy equipment in large, irregular amounts. A plan built on a single price and an even monthly volume rarely survives the year, and cash surprises tend to arrive when equipment payments and a slow shipping month coincide.
PursuitBid lets management build revenue from volume and price drivers, keep the adopted budget fixed, and maintain a rolling forecast as prices and volumes change. Scenarios test a lower price, a delayed contract, or a new loader, and the thirteen-week outlook shows how each affects the weekly cash balance.
Things to keep in mind
- PursuitBid does not pull live market prices. Price assumptions are entered and documented.
- Seasonal shipping patterns should be reflected in monthly drivers.
- Keep breakeven prices visible beside the price scenarios.
