CashMap · Free personal diagnostic · Channel programme
Sales are up. Cash is short.
Your money goes out before it comes back. In between, it sits still, in stock on your shelf and in bills nobody has paid yet. CashMap tells you how much is sitting, where, and what the waiting costs you every year.

Two ways to use CashMap
Your own number, or the pattern across your network.
Anyone in the chain can run a personal CashMap in twelve minutes, free, with no account. If you supply a dealer network, the channel programme answers the question you cannot see from your office.
Run CashMap across your channel
Every dealer runs CashMap free and keeps their own report. You get the pattern across all of them: medians, the spread, and where the channel leaks.
Never an individual answer. Never an individual score. Opening a round needs a sign-in; your dealers never need one.
Open a channel roundFind where your own cash is stuck
Four numbers in ranges, twenty-five short questions, and a number you can say out loud on Monday morning.
Your report is yours. If a company asked you to do this, they still cannot see your answers or your score.

How many days are you paying for?
Your supplier gives you some days to pay. Your stock sits for a while before it moves. Your customers take their own time after that. If the last two add up to more than the first, the difference comes out of your pocket, every day, for as long as the business runs.

One printout. Twelve minutes. No accountant needed.
Everything CashMap asks comes off a single day's stock statement and your outstanding list. You pick ranges, not exact figures, because at this stage close enough is the point.

Start your personal CashMap
Pick the side of the chain you sit on. The questions after this are written for your side.
You supply a network below you
You despatch on credit to people who sell it on. Some of what you booked as a sale is still sitting on their shelves. Find out how much of your money is lying in the market, and for how long.
Start · 12 minutesYou supply the final buyer
You pay for stock, deliver on credit, then chase. Your company's payment date doesn't wait for your customers. Find out how many days of that gap you are funding yourself, and what it costs.
Start · 12 minutesPlenty of businesses do both, like a distributor with a dealer network who also supplies large customers directly.Run both sides · 16 minutes
If your company asked you to do this
Your report is yours. When CashMap runs across a distribution network, the company sponsoring it sees combined patterns across all dealers, never your individual answers or your individual score. We say this before you begin because the diagnostic only works if you answer honestly.
- Your answers and score stay with you
- The company sees medians and spread only
- Dealers never need to sign in

Is a personal CashMap free?
Yes. Twelve minutes, no sign-up, full report on screen. Your report is yours. If a company asked you to run CashMap, they still cannot see your answers or your score.
What is a CashMap channel round?
If you supply a dealer network, the channel programme lets every dealer run CashMap free and keep their own report. You see combined patterns (medians, spread, where the channel leaks), never an individual answer or score. Opening a round needs a sign-in; dealers never need one.
Do I need exact account figures?
No. CashMap asks for ranges from a single day's stock statement and your outstanding list: monthly purchases, stock on hand, money owed to you, and the days your supplier gives you to pay.
