Built for businesses that wait to get paid.
Different trades, same problem. The money leaves on a schedule you do not control and arrives on one your customer sets. Arclite reads your QuickBooks Online ledger and shows you the next thirteen weeks before you live them.
Five versions of the same gap.
Every page below is written around one industry's actual billing mechanics, not a generic cash flow pitch. Start with the one that looks like your business.
- Cash flow for contractorsRetainage, slow draws, and general contractors who pay you when the owner pays them.
- Cash flow for trucking and freightFuel at the pump, settlements every week, brokers paying on 30 to 45 day terms.
- Cash flow for staffing agenciesPayroll goes out Friday. The client pays in 45 days. The gap is every week of the year.
- Cash flow for professional servicesYou bill at month end, they approve it in two weeks, and net 45 starts counting after that.
- Cash flow for manufacturingMaterial and labor go out on a lead time. The customer pays sixty days after the truck leaves.
You pay weekly. You get paid monthly.
Payroll, fuel, materials and subs go out every week or every other week. Invoices come back in 30, 45 or 60 days, and that is if nobody is slow. The gap between those two clocks is the whole problem.
The gap is not a profit problem. It is a timing problem.
Most of the owners we talk to are profitable on paper and tight on Thursday. The work is sold, the margin is there, the money just has not shown up yet. You cannot fix that with a P and L, because a P and L does not have dates on it.
- Money out is fixedPayroll lands on the same day whether or not your customer paid. So do rent, insurance and notes.
- Money in is a guessThe due date on the invoice is not when that customer pays. Their own history is a better guide, and Arclite uses it.
- The low week is knowablePut both clocks on one calendar and the tight week shows up weeks before you get there, while you can still do something about it.
The forecast is only half of it. Once you can see the week that goes tight, the fix is usually money someone already owes you. Arclite drafts the follow-up, ranks who to chase first, and waits for you to approve it. See the 13-week cash flow forecast and how Arclite collects overdue invoices.
Same setup, whatever you haul, build, make or staff.
