The counterparty lens — spend, terms and supply risk, with the cash and continuity move for each partner.
Paying to terms frees $0M of cash at no cost to profit — DPO sits at 41d vs the 45-day target. Capture it, dual-source the 2 at-risk suppliers, and consolidate the top tier before lead times stretch.
3 of 4 headline metrics improving vs prior · still off target: Gross Margin 13.8% vs 15.0%, Revenue $30M vs $32M, Cash Conversion Cycle 37d vs 32d
TCI Express & Gati carry medium+ supply risk and softer delivery — a single stretch in lead times can stall installs.
$0M of cash stays in the business by moving DPO from 41d to the 45-day target on $8.76M of spend — no hit to margin.
Shree Logistics ($2.41M) and Blue Dart ($2.19M) are 53% of spend — concentrating volume earns rebates and priority allocation.
$8.76M of equipment runs through six partners. This view turns that into two moves: a $0.2796186301369863M cash release from paying to terms, and a dual-source plan for the 2 suppliers whose delivery risk could stall installs.
Two partners are 53% of spend — the negotiation priorities.
Each card: spend, reliability and the specific move.
