Overview

What is Cashflow Manager?

An overview of Cashflow Manager — the Procore add-on for construction cash flow forecasting, what it does, and who it's for.

Cashflow Manager is a Procore add-on for cash flow forecasting on construction projects. It answers the question every commercial team needs to know, month by month:

"How much money is going out, how much is coming in, and where's the low point?"

You build a cost forecast and a revenue forecast from your Procore data, spread each amount across the project timeline using configurable distribution curves, and Cashflow Manager rolls them up into a month-by-month cash flow you can chart, adjust, compare, and export.

What it does

  • Imports your numbers from Procore — budget line items (costs) and Schedule of Values items from the head contract (revenue) come straight from the project, so you're forecasting against real data, not a re-keyed spreadsheet.
  • Spreads amounts over time — pick a curve (linear, S-curve, bell, front/back-loaded, and more) per line item and Cashflow Manager calculates the monthly split for you, including part-month proration.
  • Builds a live cash flow — costs vs revenue vs cumulative net, with retention, payment-timing shifts, and weekly/monthly/quarterly views.
  • Tracks actuals — pull real costs and billings back from Procore so forecasts show actual-to-date plus forecast-to-complete.
  • Compares scenarios — keep baselines and compare forecasts side by side.
  • Pushes back to Procore — activate a cost forecast to write the monthly periods into Procore's Advanced Forecasting.

The three pillars

Cashflow Manager joins three sources of project data. Each answers part of the cash flow question:

Pillar Answers Comes from
Budget How much we spend Procore Budget Views (costs)
SOV How much we receive Procore Head Contract — Schedule of Values (revenue)
Programme When it happens Project schedule (MS Project / Procore Schedule)

Budget and SOV integration are complete. Programme (schedule) integration is being rolled out — import and reconciliation exist, with schedule dates increasingly driving forecast timing. See Schedule integration for current capabilities.

Who it's for

Commercial managers, contract administrators, and project accountants who run cost and revenue forecasts in Procore and need a faster, curve-based way to see and shape the cash flow — without exporting everything to a spreadsheet.
