Cash watch
A live position, not a month-end surprise.
Every bill gets a proposed pay date from its terms, its discount and your cost of cash. Cortex shows what goes out by day, holds and disputes apart, and the discounts worth taking with the date to pay by.
- Terms
- 2/10 net 30
- Bill
- $21,600.00
- Discount
- $432.00 if paid by Thursday
- Annualized
- 37.2%
Approve it and the pay date moves up to keep the discount.

On its own, and what waits
Runs through within its level. Conflicts wait for a person.
An agent with a level acts on its own within that level’s dollar limit; without one, every step waits. Anything that conflicts or falls outside a guardrail always waits, and each decision teaches the next run.
What it does
Proposes every pay date. Flags discounts about to expire.
What it holds
Early pay below your hurdle. Every held payment.
Your tolerances, sites, units and rules are your own: set for your contracts, not fitted to a template.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask about cash outlook and early pay.
Does Cortex pay vendors?
No. It proposes pay dates and places holds in your ERP. Your existing payment process moves the money.
