Platform

One working-capital model, not a stack of spreadsheets

VelaData AI connects production schedules, inventory, customer terms, and credit facilities into the same thirteen-week view.

13-week working capital forecast

VelaData AI shows operating cash and total liquidity — customer collections, raw material buys, payroll, and line-of-credit activity, week by week.

Customer payment patterns

VelaData AI models how each major customer actually pays, based on your history. OEM delays and seasonal demand swings feed into expected cash receipts.

Inventory and supplier timing

VelaData AI tracks which cash outflows depend on production runs and supplier terms — steel, resin, and components mapped to when you need to pay.

Line of credit and covenants

VelaData AI models borrowing base, floors, and draws before you hit a breach — especially around large material purchases and payroll cycles.

Fixed costs on the calendar

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

Production-linked cash events

VelaData AI tracks when finished goods ship, invoices go out, and cash lands. Holds, partial releases, and overdue receivables in one place.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

Connect your systems

VelaData AI links ERP, MRP, accounting, payroll, and banking. NetSuite, SAP Business One, QuickBooks, Plex, ADP, Plaid, and others.

Build your cash model

VelaData AI calibrates customer pay timing, supplier terms, inventory cycles, and loan covenants from your own transaction history.

Act on what matters

VelaData AI sends alerts with the amount, the date, and what to do next — before a material buy or payroll week creates a surprise shortfall.

Intelligent workflows

Manage and control working capital with workflows built for production finance

VelaData AI connects production schedules, inventory timing, and credit facilities in one operating rhythm — so finance stays ahead of material buys and payroll, not behind them.

Production-linked cash orchestration

VelaData AI refreshes your thirteen-week position as shipments, supplier invoices, and customer receipts change — one view for the CFO and plant leadership.

Working-capital guardrails

Define minimum cash buffers, LOC utilization limits, and covenant thresholds. VelaData AI monitors them continuously across production and collection cycles.

Coordinated next steps

When a gap appears, VelaData AI routes the appropriate action — defer a material buy, adjust supplier terms, or escalate a customer collection — with SKU and amount in context.

Decision record

Every alert, recommendation, and follow-up is logged for board review, lender reporting, and internal audit.

Prioritized guidance

Recommendations calibrated to your production and payment cycles

VelaData AI ranks the highest-impact moves to protect cash through inventory peaks, customer terms, and payroll weeks — grounded in how your customers and suppliers actually behave.

Reduce reliance on your line

VelaData AI identifies ways to lower LOC draws — by sequencing raw-material purchases, accelerating receivables, or deferring non-critical outflows — before large buys or payroll weeks strain liquidity.

Protect operating cash levels

VelaData AI maintains target buffers around payroll, lease, and debt service, flags shortfall weeks early, and proposes concrete actions to restore headroom.

Customer reminders, automated

VelaData AI sends timely, professional payment reminders when invoices pass due — informed by each customer's payment history so your AR team escalates only when necessary.

For CFOs and finance teams

A forecast your bank and board can rely on

VelaData AI brings together customer payment history, inventory cycles, and supplier terms into a clear thirteen-week cash position — for internal reporting, loan covenants, and working-capital review.
