We took the standard R-Keeper report package and they tailored it to us on top of that. It all just works.
Business analytics for wholesale and distribution
In wholesale the money sits in two places: the warehouse and the customers. These reports show both at once — how much is tied up in stock and how much is hanging in unpaid invoices.
Wholesale margins are thin, so a couple of percentage points change the year. And the cash sits in two places at once: in the warehouse, and with customers who have not paid yet.
The ready-built Rivilė reports show both sides together. Stock turnover, slow-moving goods and overdue debt in one summary explain why a profitable company is permanently short of cash.
The figures worth watching
Stock turnover
How many days it takes the warehouse to turn over. A rising figure means cash is sitting in stock for longer.
Slow-moving stock
Which products are not moving and how much is tied up in them. Listing the supplier alongside shows whether the problem is systematic in one group.
Product profitability
Margin by product and group, not just turnover. Wholesale margins are thin, so a couple of percentage points change the result.
Customer profitability and debt
The largest customer on the longest credit terms is often the most expensive one. Margin and overdue debt together give the real picture.
Account manager performance
Profit rather than turnover, and whether those customers actually pay. That determines whether the incentive scheme is pulling in the right direction.
Supplier terms
Payment terms to suppliers against the credit you give customers. The difference between the two is your working-capital requirement.
How it looks in the report
Stock turnover
Stock turnover is shown against a target and as a trend — a rising number of days means more cash going into stock, even when turnover looks healthy.
Products and account managers
Product profitability by group is sorted on margin, so the groups with the highest turnover and the lowest profit stand out immediately. Account manager results are shown alongside the share of invoices actually paid — turnover without payment is not yet a result.
Debt and suppliers
At the bottom: slow-moving goods by supplier, customer profitability alongside overdue debt, and the gap in supplier terms. The last of these shows how many days the company is financing its own trade.
Where the data comes from
- the accounting system (usually Rivilė)
- stock levels and movements
- customer contracts with their credit terms
What people usually notice first
- 1 The usual finding is that the cash cycle is longer than assumed: days of stock, plus the credit given to customers, less supplier terms, often comes to two or three months.
- 2 It explains why a growing wholesaler is permanently short of cash while the accounts show a profit.
