We pay the co-packer before buyers pay us. Check the cash first.
For co-packed brands that sell wholesale and direct. Futureproof puts what buyers owe in your cash forecast, so you can check the next run against your cash before you book the co-packer.
A co-packed brand pays for the run first
With QuickBooks and an outside bookkeeper, buyer payments are matched in a monthly pass.
- The co-packer is paid firstThe run is due when it comes off the line, and the buyer pays its invoice on terms, weeks later. Your cash carries the gap.
- Terms that stretchYou gave the buyer long terms to win the account. It pays weeks past the due date, and nobody followed up the day it went late.
- You finance your buyersThe next run is due, and the cash it needs is sitting in your buyers' accounts.
See if your brand's cash covers the run.
Whether to book the run, and what terms to offer each buyer, stays your call.
What your brand gets
- The next run checked against your cash on the date its payment falls due, before you book it.
- What buyers owe in your cash forecast, each payment in the week it is expected.
- Every open wholesale invoice by buyer, how far past due it is, and how each buyer has paid before you offer terms next season.
- Wholesale revenue on its own line, beside your store and marketplace sales, in one profit and loss statement.

What CEOs and COOs ask before a run
Check the run against your cash before you book it. The run is checked on the date its payment falls due, and you see whether the cash holds. You decide the run, and you pay the co-packer from your own bank.
You see every open wholesale invoice under its buyer, with how far past due it is, and reminders go to the buyer on the schedule you set. Before you offer the next buyer the same terms, you can see how the last ones paid.
Yes. Each wholesale invoice is drafted for you to review, and you send it to the buyer's billing inbox. Reminders reach the same inbox on the schedule you set.
A buyer's payment is proposed against the invoice it pays and applied when you approve it, and your list of what buyers owe is right from then on, not after a monthly pass.
Yes. Wholesale revenue is on its own line in the same profit and loss statement as your store and marketplace sales, so the month reads as one brand instead of two spreadsheets.
Live in weeks, not months. Your QuickBooks history comes across with you, and your bank, cards, Amazon, eBay and Shopify connect during setup. Your store, your marketplaces and your 3PL stay where they are.
