Get more from Jiwa 7: Improve cash flow control with smarter systems

In today’s uncertain economic environment, it’s more important than ever to use quieter periods to review how you’re managing cash flow, tighten control, and prepare for whatever lies ahead.

You’ve already got Jiwa 7 in place – but are you getting the most out of it?

Most businesses focus on getting the system in and stabilising operations. That’s a solid first step. But once the basics are up and running, you could achieve more – particularly when it comes to visibility, forecasting and control.

Visibility makes the difference

Cash pressure builds gradually – delayed payments, creeping costs, slow-moving stock – until something breaks.

Jiwa 7 is already giving you the structure to stay on top of those things. But to get full value, the system needs to be active – not just somewhere data gets stored, but a platform for decisions.

That means you can:

See what’s available, what’s committed and what’s overdue – in real-time
Track how customer payment behaviour or supplier pricing is changing
Detect problems early enough to take action – not just react after the fact

If you’re not using Jiwa 7 to stay ahead of those signals, you’re relying on habit and hindsight – not your system.

Tools inside Jiwa 7 that help you tighten cash control

When all parts of the business are connected and drawn from the same data, decisions become quicker, clearer, and better informed.

Here’s where we see businesses getting the most value:

Dashboards and visual reports – With the new SaaS plugin for embedded Microsoft Power BI, Jiwa 7 lets you track cashflow KPIs visually – overdue debtors, stock turns, margin trends, and supplier spend. When that data is on a live dashboard, problems surface early without the need to dig through reports.
Customer and supplier tracking – Jiwa 7 lets you monitor how customers and suppliers behave over time. You can flag late payers, track discounts, or isolate high-value accounts. That insight lets you make better calls on terms and follow-ups.
Forecasting and what-if analysis – By creating user-defined queries and storing scenario data in user-defined tables, you can open a whole new world of discovery – for example, forecasting and what-if analysis. You can use scenario planning to test how your cash position shifts if key invoices slip or stock moves faster. You can run what-if scenarios via a custom Crystal Report to see impacts before making decisions.
Budgets and targets – Set budgets across sales, expenses, and stock holding, and use variance reporting to catch issues early – long before they hit your bottom line.
Automation and alerts – Use Jiwa 7’s automation tools to trigger reminders, approve purchases, or flag issues automatically.

Your system is flexible – use it that way

Jiwa 7’s configurability is one of its greatest strengths. With the right plugins or adjustments, you can streamline processes, surface deeper insights, and reduce admin.

If it feels like you’re still double-handling things or pulling reports manually, it might be time to:

Revisit your dashboard setup
Explore plugins to automate tasks

You don’t need to use every feature at once. Start with what’s working, then gradually expand your use of dashboards, automation, and forecasting to build stronger control without disruption.

As you grow your usage, custom plugins can play a key role by automating processes in the background, improving data quality and reducing the need for constant manual oversight.

It’s not about getting a new system – it’s about making better use of the one you already have.
