Method and system for cash maximization

A method for maximizing cash inventory wherein the method comprises:

• (a) obtaining financial data;
• (b) converting the financial data to data structures;
• (c) transferring the data structures into model interface input tables;
• (d) processing the data from the model interface input tables using an optimization engine whereby future cash inventory is maximized, producing a set of optimized data;
• (e) transferring the set of optimized data to an output table model interface;
• (f) converting the output table model interface data from resident database formats to a format whereby the data is accessible by web browsers;
• (g) transferring the data accessible by web browsers to an Internet-based dashboard interface;
• and,
• (h) providing an optimal solution for purchasing and distributing inventory.

A method for maximizing cash inventory wherein the method comprises:

• (a) obtaining financial data;
• (b) transferring and saving the financial data to a vendor's system in a standardized form;
• (c) organizing the financial data in a data warehouse;
• (d) defining equations to be solved by an optimization engine;
• (e) defining an objective function for the optimization engine to accomplish;
• (f) solving the equations for the objective function using the optimization engine;
• and,
• (g) producing reports indicating when and how much product inventory to purchase.

A computer-implemented method for utilizing an optimization engine to maximize cash inventory wherein the method comprises:

• (a) inputting financial data of a customer into computer-readable form on a customer's computer system;
• (b) transferring the financial data electronically from the customer's computer system to a vendor's computer system;
• (c) processing the financial data using an optimization engine to obtain results that maximize cash inventory without action by the customer;
• and,
• (d) transferring purchase recommendations which maximize cash inventory based on the results electronically from the vendor's computer system to the customer's computer system.

A computer-based system for maximizing cash inventory wherein the system comprises:

• (a) an Internet-based dashboard interface wherein financial data, change requests, and reports requests may be inputted and reports may be outputted;
• (b) a pre-optimization preparation which transfers and saves the data inputted via the dashboard to a vendor's system in a standardized form such that an optimization engine can read and process the data;
• (c) a pre-engine script which organizes the data and sets up the required electronic connections between the data and the optimization engine;
• (d) a model which defines equations to be solved by the optimization engine;
• and,
• (e) the optimization engine which solves the equations, maximizing cash.
