Cash Flow Forecast, and reorder timing that knows which suppliers run late

The question every distributor asks their bank account, not their software

Most small distributors already know, roughly, what they owe suppliers and roughly what customers owe them. What almost nobody has is those two numbers projected together, week by week, far enough out to actually do something about a tight one. That's the gap TraxSail's new Cash Flow Forecast closes.

It works off data TraxSail already has: every purchase order's ship date plus that supplier's payment terms tells us roughly when a PO turns into money going out. Every invoice's real due date tells us when money is expected to come in. Put those two together 12 weeks out, and the forecast flags the exact week where outflow is about to outrun inflow, before it's a surprise.

Two things we were deliberate about: amounts already past due don't get quietly folded into a future week (that would just be a guess dressed up as data), and neither does spend committed beyond the 12-week window, both get shown as their own honest totals instead. And the forecast is explicit about what it is, an estimate built from your own data, not a guarantee, and it's only as good as what's actually been imported.

Reorder timing that accounts for who actually ships on time

The second piece is Reorder Suggestions, rebuilt from a "coming soon" placeholder into something real: a predicted reorder date for each item, based on how often you've actually ordered it from that supplier historically. Order something from the same vendor every 20 days or so, and TraxSail will tell you roughly when the next order is due.

The part that makes it more than a calendar reminder: that date gets pulled earlier by how many days that specific supplier tends to run late shipping. A supplier who's reliably on time gets ordered from on schedule. A supplier who averages three or four days late gets ordered from a few days sooner, automatically, so their pattern of running late stops being your problem to remember.

This isn't inventory or stock-level tracking, TraxSail doesn't know what's sitting on your shelf. It's cadence, how often you've genuinely reordered a thing, which is honest about what it is and doesn't need a single new field of data to work.
