Purpose:
Predicting the cash flow for a customer project is among the most challenging tasks for a project manager in Project Business on the contractor side.

Cash Radar helps predict funding requirements for a project and model whether it will generate a profit margin for a contractor or a loss.

Questions it helps answer:
What is the income we can expect from the project? What is its funding requirement?
