Good morning, Dana

Three things moved overnight. Northgate's risk jumped, PVC margin slipped again, and your Sep 4 low point fell under your operating floor.

Cross-domain alerts

Findings that join receivables, inventory and cash — the things neither QuickBooks nor Brightpearl can see alone.

All cross-domain insights
AR × InventoryCross-domainRecoverable stock$6,400

Anchor Distributors: $14,200 balance, 187 days overdue. Write-off economics justified — but don't write off blind.

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.

AR × InventoryCross-domainExposure$270K

You're financing your riskiest customers' inventory.

$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.

Margin × RiskCross-domainTrue margin29.8% → 24.6%

Your best margins are your riskiest cash.

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.

What needs your attention today

Generated 4 minutes ago · explanation only, nothing was changed
  • Receivables

    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.

  • Margins

    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.

  • Payables

    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.
