Findings that join receivables, inventory and cash — the things neither QuickBooks nor Brightpearl can see alone.
Brightpearl shows $6,400 of inventory was delivered on the unpaid invoices (INV-3141, INV-3187). A financial write-off would ignore recoverable physical stock.
Recommended action: Two-step: (1) send formal demand for return of unsold inventory within 30 days, (2) write off only the residual ~$7,800 after recovery.
$180,400 of receivables sits with four slow-payers whose lines are the same SKUs on the $90,000 Meridian reorder landing Sep 2. You buy the stock in 30 days and get paid in 61.
Recommended action: Review terms with Northgate and Sierra Mechanical before the next shipment releases, or split the reorder into two half lots.
60% of THHN Wire volume — your healthiest line at 29.8% — ships to elevated-risk accounts paying 47 days on average. Headline margin holds; realised margin after carrying cost is 24.6%.
Recommended action: Tighten terms on the four elevated-risk buyers of this line before extending more credit against it.
i2C Intelligence™
Northgate Supply has stretched from 34 to 52 average days to pay, with $96k now past 60 days
This is the single largest movement in your AR book this month. Accounts with this pattern paid 19 days sooner when contacted before day 45.
PVC Pipe 2" Schedule 40 margin fell 7.2 points while list price held flat
Meridian's lot cost rose 14% since February and none of it was passed through. The gap is worth about $31,200 a year on this SKU alone.
Three early-payment discounts worth $3,653 close within the next 7 days
Cash position supports capturing all three. Sequencing Orchid on Aug 21 keeps the Sep 4 forecast low point above your $250k floor.
