The Margin Trap

Raw material prices: Purchasing costs and energy prices are rising, but your selling prices are often fixed. Your margin evaporates but you don't immediately see it in your cash flow.

CAPEX blindness: You want a new production line, but aren't sure if you can bear the financing costs if the market takes a downturn.

Fragmented insights: Your ERP handles logistics, your accountant handles taxes. No one tells you what your future liquidity is.

Financial resilience

Inflation scenarios: What if raw material costs rise by 10%? Recalculate your forecast with the click of a button and see the impact on your bottom line.

Investment plans: Plan major expenditures (machinery, facilities) over time. See exactly when your cash dip occurs and secure financing in time.

Consolidated view: Do you have a production entity and a real estate entity? Liquid combines them into a single, clear view of the entire group.

Liquid for Manufacturing

Make your factory financially shockproof.

In manufacturing, driving volume is necessary, but maintaining margins is crucial. Liquid helps you navigate volatile times. Test scenarios for rising energy prices, personnel costs, or a new production line. Stop guessing whether your investments are paying off and start steering based on a watertight liquidity forecast.

Manufacturing? Good to know:

No. Your ERP remains leading for your order flow, inventory management, and production planning. Liquid is the financial layer on top. We extract the financial facts from your accounting system (which is fed by your ERP) and translate them into liquidity forecasts and management reports.

Yes, that's where Liquid excels. You can plan investments in machinery or real estate as separate scenarios. Liquid simultaneously calculates the impact on your cash flow (purchase/down payment) and your P&L (depreciation and any interest).

Certainly. Many manufacturing companies hold real estate and machinery in separate entities. Liquid effortlessly consolidates these entities, including the automatic elimination of intercompany charges. This gives you insight per entity as well as for the entire group.

Absolutely. Do you need to build up inventory in the spring for summer sales? You can accurately model these purchasing and revenue spikes in your forecast, so you can see exactly how much working capital you need to pre-finance the season.
