The Contractor Operations Pack brings together three Basecase models for the operating decisions a trade or subcontracting business makes every month: what plant to own, who to give credit to, and when to hire. It combines the Equipment Hire / Rental Fleet Model, the Subcontractor Credit Risk & DSO Toolkit and the Workforce & Capacity Planning Model.
What it does: the Equipment Hire / Rental Fleet Model gives every machine its own economics – revenue at a day rate and utilisation, running costs, depreciation, loan payments, EBIT, ROI, payback and breakeven utilisation – and rolls the fleet up into a dashboard with a utilisation sensitivity. The Subcontractor Credit Risk & DSO Toolkit reports DSO four ways, including countback DSO, computes an IFRS 9-style expected credit loss from an ageing provision matrix, and gives each customer a risk score, rating and recommended credit limit. The Workforce & Capacity Planning Model turns a 12-month revenue forecast into labour hours, compares them with the productive capacity of your crew, and sizes the overtime-versus-hire decision with dated hiring triggers.
How the models connect: they are three separate workbooks with no links between files, but they describe the same business. The 12-month revenue forecast in the workforce model and the twelve months of credit sales in the DSO toolkit should tell the same story, and keeping them consistent is a quick sanity check on both. The toolkit's "what a day of DSO is worth" figure shows how much cash faster collections would release – cash that could fund a hire flagged by the workforce model, or a machine you are appraising in the fleet model, whose ROI, payback and breakeven utilisation you can weigh against that freed-up cash before you commit.
Main features: 819 live formulas across the three files; per-asset ROI, payback and breakeven utilisation with best and worst asset rankings; four DSO measures, expected credit loss and credit limits with nine integrity checks; monthly demand versus supply, overtime absorption and hire-by months; and worked examples preloaded in every model.
How to work with it: in each workbook overwrite the blue input cells – the fleet register, the debtor ledger and monthly sales, the revenue forecast and crew – and read the dashboards. Everything else is a visible formula.
Why you need it: trade businesses rarely fail on one big mistake; they drift on idle plant, slow payers and a crew that is either stretched or under-used. These three models put a number on each. The pack is priced below the three models bought separately, and each workbook is identical to its individual listing.
Every file is fully unlocked with every formula visible and a plain-English cover sheet. Currency-agnostic; treat $ as your currency. For analysis and planning only, not financial or credit advice.
