Understanding Who You Sell To and Buy From

Beyond the main dashboard, dedicated screens under Finance Insights > Customers and > Vendors dig into relationship-level financial risk and value.

Customer Screens

ScreenWhat It's For
Customer Risk ScoreRanks customers by payment reliability/credit risk so collections can prioritise the riskiest accounts first.
Customer Lifetime ValueTotal historical (and projected) value of the relationship, not just the last invoice.
Customer ProfitabilityRevenue from a customer net of the cost to serve them — a big customer isn't always the most profitable one.
Customer ConcentrationHow much revenue depends on your top few customers — a concentration risk flag.
Customer Churn RiskFlags customers whose ordering pattern has gone quiet compared to their historical rhythm.
Customer Cohort AnalysisGroups customers by when they first bought, to see how each cohort's spend evolves over time.
Customer Acquisition VelocityRate of new customer acquisition over time.
Cross-Sell Opportunity MatrixWhich product combinations customers tend to buy together but aren't yet — an upsell target list.

Vendor Screens

ScreenWhat It's For
Vendor ConcentrationHow dependent your supply chain is on a small number of vendors.
Vendor Reliability ScoreOn-time delivery/quality-linked scoring per vendor, where tracked.
Vendor Spend AnalysisTotal spend by vendor and category — the starting point for negotiating volume discounts.
Vendor Payment ScheduleUpcoming bill due dates laid out on a timeline for payment planning.

Receivables & Payables Aging

Aged Receivable, AR & AP Aging, Late Invoice Tracker, Days to Pay Analytics, and Receivables Forecast together give a complete picture of who owes you money, who you owe, and how overdue each side is — the day-to-day working set for a collections/AP team, distinct from the higher-level risk-scoring screens above.

CFO Command Center

The CFO Command Center screen is the single highest-altitude view — it pulls the headline number from most of the other screens in this course onto one page, meant to be the first thing a CFO or owner opens each morning before drilling into any specific area.
