Cash Squeeze

Supplier bills fall due next month. Your biggest customer is paying late. See the gap before it lands.

Otiox puts every payable on one screen by due date, compares what falls due in the next 30 days with what customers are expected to pay, and flags when one late customer holds most of your receivables — so the cash gap is a number you act on, not a surprise.

Collect from Falcon Robotics first, keep paying the suppliers you can't lose, and move non-critical bills before Oct 10.

01The Challenge

Cash rarely runs out suddenly. It runs out on a date nobody wrote down.

October is heavy: battery cells, machined housings and electronics are all due within weeks. At the same time Falcon Robotics — more than half of what customers owe you — is already past due. Each fact is known to someone; nobody has put them side by side.
  1. 01
    Supplier bills live in inboxes and spreadsheets, not in one list by due date
  2. 02
    An overdue supplier bill is noticed when the supplier stops shipping
  3. 03
    Nobody compares what falls due with what is actually coming in
  4. 04
    One slow customer quietly holds most of the receivables

How It Works

Purpose-built features that solve these exact problems.
01

Accounts payable

Every supplier bill with its amount, due date, paid amount and status, and totals for due today, due in 7 days, overdue and unpaid.
02

Aging report

Payables per vendor in current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ day buckets, exportable to CSV and PDF.
03

Record payments

Record a full or partial payment with amount, date and notes; the payable's remaining balance and status update.
04

Cash-flow shortfall warning

The Predictive Engine compares payables due in the next 30 days with receivables expected in the same window, including overdue invoices, and shows the gap and the date.
05

Receivables concentration

A warning when one customer holds a large share of your receivables and is already past due.
04

What You'll Gain

Tangible improvements that impact your bottom line.
  1. 01
    See the gap in money and days

    The shortfall comes with an amount and a date, not a feeling.

  2. 02
    Pay the bills that matter first

    Overdue suppliers are visible before they hold your shipments.

  3. 03
    Know who you depend on

    When one customer holds half your receivables, you know before their delay becomes yours.

  4. 04
    One list instead of five inboxes

    Every payable, by due date and by vendor, in one place.

Real-World Scenarios

See how this works in practice.
Scenario 1

October is heavy

Supplier bills of $21,800 fall due within 30 days; customers are expected to pay $13,976. The engine shows a $7,824 gap by October 10.
Scenario 2

An overdue supplier

A $3,200 bill to Shenzhen Precision is 21 days overdue. It is paid first, so PCB shipments keep coming.
Scenario 3

One customer, half the receivables

Falcon Robotics owes $10,476 — 52% of receivables — and is past due. Collecting it covers most of the gap.
06

The Transformation

From chaos to clarity.
Before
  • Bills scattered across inboxes
  • Overdue suppliers noticed when they stop shipping
  • Payables and receivables never compared
  • Dependence on one slow payer unseen
After
  • Every payable by due date and vendor
  • Overdue bills flagged and paid first
  • The 30-day gap shown with an amount and a date
  • Concentration in one customer flagged

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions.
01Does the shortfall warning use my bank balance?
No. It compares payables due in the next 30 days with receivables expected in the same window, including overdue invoices. Your bank balance is not part of the calculation.
02Can I record partial payments?
Yes. Enter any amount up to the remaining balance; the payable shows what has been paid so far and what remains.
03Does Otiox chase late customers for me?
No. Otiox flags overdue receivables and customer concentration; contacting the customer stays with your team.
04Can I export the aging report?
Yes. The payables aging report exports to CSV and PDF.
