01
Margin you keep
Price and terms
Jobs priced below what they cost you. No escalation clause when material moves. No deposit, no milestone billing. Change orders that get built and never get billed.
Small and mid-size manufacturers
We redesign the system that moves your cash.
You’ve already done the work. We make sure the cash shows up.
How you price, how fast you quote and bill, when you pay, what sits on the shelf — we redesign the processes that slow cash down or let margin slip away.
And you can check the result on your own numbers: working capital freed, more cash from operations.
No call required to see your numbers, and nothing touches your books.
With Ops2Cash24 days of cash freed
Most shops sell you a chatbot or a flow. We install and run the system that moves the cash — and prove it on your own numbers.
The technology reached the floor. We work the side it never turned to.
Where the cash stops
Four places the money stops moving.
Collections is only one of them, and usually the last one worth fixing. The first three are where the money actually is.
02
Cycle speed
Speed to cash
A quote that takes four days to leave the building. Orders re-keyed between systems. Work that shipped in March and got invoiced in April.
03
Working capital
Idle cash
Material bought early. Work-in-progress parked between operations. Finished goods waiting on a truck. Retention still held on jobs you closed months ago.
04
Days sales outstanding
Collections
Aging that creeps because follow-up depends on someone remembering. No escalation path, and the occasional write-off nobody planned for.
The overlooked side of manufacturing
The shop floor has received the technology. The cash cycle has not.
Predictive maintenance, vision inspection, throughput and scheduling — that side is real, and plenty of manufacturers already run it. Almost none of it points at the back office, where cash actually converts.
Operations, measured in cash
The floor runs on data. The cash cycle around it still runs on spreadsheets, memory, and follow-up nobody owns.
- Price
- Quote
- Order
- Build
- Ship
- Bill
- Collect
- Buy
- Pay
Marked points are where value can become delayed, diluted, or trapped. Not every shop has every one.
Where value gets lost
Rarely one large failure. More often it’s spread across small delays, missed handoffs, and inconsistent decisions — each looks operational on its own. Together they thin margin, stretch the cash-conversion cycle, and leave more money tied up inside the business.
Margin left in the quote
Quotes that don’t fully reflect cost or risk.
Work completed, never billed
Change orders and extra work that never reach the invoice.
Shipped, not yet billed
Completed shipments waiting on documentation or billing.
Purchasing without visibility
Buying decisions made without a clear view of demand or inventory.
Vendor terms working against you
Payment timing that doesn’t match the company’s cash cycle.
Cash sitting in inventory and WIP
Material and work-in-progress standing longer than necessary.
Retainage and aging receivables
Held retention and overdue invoices with inconsistent follow-up.
Disconnected data
Financial and operating data split across systems and spreadsheets.
This is the side Ops2Cash works — the processes around production that quietly decide how much cash you keep.
What gets installed
Not a pile of bots. The system your cash moves through.
Every step is a place cash either moves or stalls. We redesign the ones that stall, automate what should never need a person, and keep running it.

Reported in two numbers you already track.
Working capital freed
Cash released from the cycle: less time waiting to get paid, less material and work-in-progress standing still, terms that work in your favor rather than your vendor’s.
Cash flow from operations
The cash your operations generate, improved by keeping margin you’d already earned. We don’t touch your debt structure or your capital spending — that sits outside this work.
Placeholder: published results go here once diagnostic figures are confirmed. We won’t print a number we can’t show you the math for.
What actually gets built
Six things that run every day, and where each one stops.
Not a chatbot and not a pile of agents. Ordinary back-office work, done the same way every time, with a person kept on every decision that moves money.
Quote from your own job history
Pulls comparable jobs with what they actually cost — not what they were quoted at — and drafts at your target margin.
Stops for a person: The estimator argues with a draft instead of starting at a blank sheet.
Extras captured when they happen
Watches for work that went beyond the order and raises it while the job is open, not at month-end when nobody remembers.
Stops for a person: A person confirms it's billable before it reaches an invoice.
Walk this one through →Invoice the day it ships
Reads the shipment confirmation, drafts the invoice against the order, and has it ready the same day rather than next week.
Stops for a person: One approval releases it. Anything that doesn't match the order is held, not guessed.
Walk this one through →Follow-up that doesn't wait on memory
Chases on a schedule you set, escalates when a bucket ages, and keeps the whole thread in one place.
Stops for a person: You decide who gets a call and who gets a hold. The machine never talks to a customer unprompted.
Walk this one through →Material that stops sitting
Surfaces stock and work-in-progress that has stopped moving, with the cash attached to each so it can be ranked.
Stops for a person: Buying and scrapping stay decisions, made by people, with better numbers in front of them.
Walk this one through →Terms and payment timing that suit your cash
Keeps vendor terms in one register, flags discounts worth taking, and times payment runs against your own position.
Stops for a person: Every payment run is still released by a person.
It runs in your house, not ours.
Your Microsoft 365
Teams, SharePoint and Power Automate — the licenses you already pay for. Approvals arrive where your people already work.
Your ERP and accounting, as they are
Whatever you run. Nothing gets replaced and nothing gets migrated — the connection is scoped in the diagnostic, against your systems rather than a list of ours.
Your tenant, your account
It runs inside your environment, on your subscriptions. We don't host your financial data — if you ever end the engagement, there's nothing of yours to hand back.
How it works
Start with a diagnostic, not a system.
- 01
Cash Conversion Snapshot
A handful of numbers you already know, turned into a directional estimate of what your cycle is holding. The math is shown. Free, about two minutes.
Run your Snapshot - 02
Cash Conversion Diagnostic
Four phases on your own financials, typically four to six weeks. Your cycle baselined, the opportunities ranked in dollars, and the target state designed with the people who run the work. You decide at the readout whether it was worth the fee.
Book a diagnostic - 03
Build and run
We install what the diagnostic calls for, then run and improve it — the first build included, up to ten days, on a fix your own map named. Scoped from findings, so you're buying a known result, not an open-ended project.
What “build” actually means
Already sure which process is the problem? The Targeted Diagnostic verifies it on your own records — typically one to two weeks — before anything gets built.
