Sound familiar?

These are the exact conversations we have with founders every week.

We're constantly running out of stock or sitting on dead inventory.

No visibility into what’s coming, when, and how much. Every month is a scramble.

Nobody owns the procurement process. It's just firefighting.

Orders happen last-minute, nobody tracks what’s where, and every decision is reactive.

I'm still managing this in Excel and it breaks every time.

Spreadsheets that are outdated before anyone reads them. No single source of truth.

WHAT YOU GET

Time is money. Save both

We map when money leaves and when capital returns. Tied to real production timelines and payment terms.

Procurement-linked cash flow mapping

When money leaves, when capital returns. 3 to 6 months of visibility, updated with real data.

MOQ optimization

Balance minimum order quantities against working capital. Don't buy too much, don't stop sales.

Payment timing alignment

Procurement planning factored with production cycles, supplier payment terms, and delivery windows.

Stage-by-stage cost breakdown

Know exactly what each phase costs before you commit. No hidden charges, no "we'll figure it out later."

Cash gap alerts before the gap happens

We flag upcoming cash shortfalls 4 to 8 weeks in advance. You have time to act: delay an order, negotiate terms, arrange a credit line. Not scramble.

Reorder planning

We tell you when to place the next order, before you run out. Based on your lead times, sales velocity, and current stock. No stockouts, no last-minute panic orders.

Why this matters

Not a financial advisor. A procurement operator who understands money.

Connected to real operations

Our forecasts are tied to actual factory timelines, real payment terms, and current inventory. Not theoretical models in a spreadsheet.

Procurement-focused, not generic

We don’t do tax planning or fundraising. We plan procurement cash flow because that’s where most product brands bleed money.

Usually bundled with other services

Cash flow planning works best when connected to the procurement process we’re already managing. Most clients combine it with Product Launch or Supply Chain.

Here's how we solve the exact problems keeping you up at night

The sourcing nightmare that almost killed a product launch

THE PROBLEM

US skincare brand spent 8 months and $40K on three different sourcing agents — none delivered a viable manufacturer. Launch deadline passed. Investors losing patience.

WHAT WE DID

Sourced 12 factories across Guangdong and Zhejiang, audited 4 on-site, negotiated pricing 22% below the client's previous best offer. Managed USDA Organic certification in parallel.

THE RESULT

“We wasted nearly a year and the budget was bleeding. Helix found our manufacturer in 6 weeks and got us to market 3 months later. We should have called them first.”

— Sarah M., Founder & CEO
