Armqu — Know what a decision costs before you make it

Know what a decision costs before you make it.

Armqu is a decision intelligence platform for CFOs at F&B manufacturers. It models the cash and margin impact of cross-functional decisions across ERP, factory floor, and finance data — before they commit.

Accepting the 6% discount erodes Q4 EBITDA by €87k but improves cash conversion by 11 days. Margin recovers in Q1 if input costs hold.

Most tools plan. Armqu simulates. ERPs, WMS, MES, and BI tools tell you what already happened. Armqu models what will happen — across operations, inventory, sales, finance, and planning — so the decision is made with the full consequence visible.

The cost of doing nothing

The cash gap appears six weeks after the decision that caused it.

For most F&B manufacturing CFOs, the decision was already made by the time finance saw it: a retail commitment, a promotional price, a supplier payment prioritised the wrong way. By the time the cash impact shows up in the ERP, the contract is signed and renegotiation is no longer on the table.

Every CFO. Every month.

"The ERP tells me what happened last quarter. It tells me nothing about what this decision will do to cash in 6 weeks."

Same company, different reality.

"Finance doesn't know what operations committed to. And operations doesn't see the cash impact."

Before every major retail commitment.

"Before I sign a new retail contract, I want to know what fulfilling it does to my working capital for the next 90 days."

Three decisions Armqu models

The decisions your ERP never flags.

01
Supplier payment timing

Fresh lines run on 14-day terms. Processed lines run on 45-90 day terms. Armqu models the combined cash position before you prioritise which suppliers get paid this week — and which can wait without breaking the supply chain.

02
Customer pricing commitment

A retailer requests a promotional price. Your margin model is three months old, and input costs have moved since. Armqu runs the P&L against live input costs and current capacity before you respond — not after the contract is signed.

03
Inventory write-off exposure

Slow-moving stock ages in the warehouse. Armqu surfaces the cash exposure continuously — before the write-off window closes and the loss becomes unavoidable on the P&L.

How it works

Three capabilities that don't exist in your current stack.

Cross-system pre-execution simulation

Operations, inventory, sales, finance, and planning — all in one model. Ask any business decision in plain language. Get the full financial consequence across every system you have data for, before you commit.

Live simulation, not a planning model

Armqu runs against your ERP, factory floor, and finance data in real time. Not last quarter's costs. Not an Excel snapshot. When input costs move, the forecast moves with them — instantly.

F&B manufacturing depth, day one

Built for the realities of food and beverage manufacturing — fresh-line cash cycles, processed-line working capital, retail concentration risk, SKU-level margin volatility. Not a generic decision platform.
