For general contractors

See cash problems before they land

VelaData AI forecasts where your cash stands today and where it will be over the next thirteen weeks — owner payments, payroll, subs, and loan covenants together. You get time to act, not a surprise at the bank.

  • VelaData AI builds a thirteen-week outlook from how your owners actually pay
  • VelaData AI ties every gap to a specific draw, owner, or cost — not a black box
  • VelaData AI produces bank and board reports without rebuilding spreadsheets each month

Platform

One cash model, not a stack of reports

VelaData AI connects owner pay apps, subcontractor obligations, and line-of-credit rules into the same thirteen-week view.

01

13-week cash forecast

VelaData AI shows operating cash and total liquidity — owner payments, payroll, subcontractor releases, and line-of-credit activity, week by week.

02

Owner payment patterns

VelaData AI models how each owner actually pays, based on your history. Timing delays and seasonal swings feed into when you expect cash to arrive.

03

Pay-when-paid tracking

VelaData AI tracks which subcontractor payments depend on owner draws — from your receipt to what you owe downstream.

04

Line of credit and covenants

VelaData AI models borrowing base, floors, and draws before you hit a breach. Know the risk while you still have time to act.

05

Fixed costs on the calendar

VelaData AI pulls payroll, debt service, insurance, and surety from your systems and flags them by week so nothing critical is missed.

06

Draw pipeline

VelaData AI tracks pay apps from submission through approval to cash in the bank. Holds, waivers, and overdue items in one place.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

01

Connect your systems

VelaData AI links project management, accounting, payroll, and banking. Procore, CMiC, QuickBooks, NetSuite, ADP, Plaid, and others.

02

Build your cash model

VelaData AI calibrates owner pay timing, subcontractor terms, payroll cycles, and loan covenants from your own transaction history.

03

Act on what matters

VelaData AI sends alerts with the amount, the date, and what to do next — not another static dashboard or spreadsheet export.

Intelligent workflows

Manage and control construction treasury with purpose-built workflows

VelaData AI connects draw tracking, pay-when-paid logic, and covenant monitoring in one operating rhythm — so your team controls cash before payroll, subs, or the bank force a reaction.

01

Draw-to-cash orchestration

VelaData AI refreshes your thirteen-week position as pay apps, owner receipts, and subcontractor releases move — one view for the CFO, controller, and project teams.

02

Covenant and LOC guardrails

Set minimum cash buffers, borrowing-base limits, and surety thresholds. VelaData AI monitors them weekly and surfaces pressure while you still have room to maneuver.

03

Actions routed to the right owner

When a gap appears, VelaData AI queues the next step — delay a LOC draw, re-sequence a sub payment, or escalate an owner collection — with project and amount in context.

04

Audit-ready decision trail

Every alert, recommendation, and follow-up is recorded for bonding review, board reporting, and lender conversations.

Prioritized guidance

Recommendations grounded in how your owners actually pay

VelaData AI ranks what to do next by impact on liquidity, borrowing cost, and covenant compliance — using your owner payment history, not generic benchmarks.

01

Minimize line-of-credit draws

VelaData AI surfaces ways to reduce LOC reliance — timing sub releases to owner receipts, accelerating draw collections, or deferring discretionary spend — before interest and covenant headroom erode.

02

Maintain healthy cash buffers

VelaData AI tracks operating balances against payroll, debt service, and surety requirements, then proposes specific levers when a week falls below your policy.

03

Owner reminders, on schedule

VelaData AI sends professional payment follow-ups when owner invoices pass due — calibrated to each owner's track record so your team intervenes only when escalation is warranted.

For CFOs and finance teams

A cash forecast your bank can rely on

VelaData AI brings together owner payment history, fixed costs, and contract terms into a clear thirteen-week cash position — for internal reporting, loan covenants, and bonding review.
