PaceCar by BirdTraffic
Our lineup for the independent wholesale distribution business and its performance
Pace Car by BirdTraffic is a Path Management system for Wholesaler-Distributors.
Set Your Course and Stay On Course are our “1-2 Punch” approach for handling your envisioning and your execution in one place.
In Set Your Course, the 1-Punch, we leverage whatever projection and budget information you have into a comprehensive path, with scenarios, which will set the guidelines throughout the company.
In Stay On Course, the 2-Punch, we provide a series of comparative tools, but the most powerful is a bulk calculation of variances between paths - with extraction of the most useful. You will see that this sets in motion efforts to turn all significant variance information into strategic moves.
Supplement is in an advantageous position to assist your finance and accounting efforts because Pace Car houses so much performance data and analysis. Reduce your accounting workload by leveraging what you will have already as a Pace Car user.
Set Your Course
The purpose of our Pace Car work with you is to help you meet your goals. The first thing we do is establish with you a set of goals that will drive the work. There can be a few, and they could come from the list shown here. But whatever they are, the need to represent the key result areas of Profit, Cash and Equity.
Using your goals, your actuals and any projection information you have, we can produce the Pace Car Path, the first iteration, anyway. Our path tool PathPoint completes the details of the path. Pace Car Path is always our Scenario 1 and Headed Here is always our Scenario 2. Information from about challenges shapes Headed Here, and PathPoint completes the path. We now have our very first, of many, set of PC Path and Headed Here. These two will drive our process.

Here is the reason that the Prime Variance is so important. If it is not eliminated, you will not meet your goals. If the variance is small, your miss is immaterial. If the variance is large, the miss is large
Hence the need to produce strategic moves becomes important.
Here’s My Data!
We are ready for you no matter what.
If you want to send over your 3-page year-end report, maybe the last two would be better, we can start with that. When we get a rhythm, we will be exchanging in greater quantity.
If you have growth or distress complexities and need to uncover some hard-to-see solutions, it will take a larger exchange of data. Not all in the first day, but we’ll need some data to work with.
We have limited-scope options at a discount for you to begin with if that suits. We also can use our demo company to explore methods and tactics you might like. Let’s just look and see what works.

There are two principal selections available made for any piece of work being done: Result and Period

The Pace Car Advantage
We offer a subscription service in the financial planning & analysis field - the field of Profit-Cash-Equity performance.
Specializing in the independent companies in wholesale distribution, Pace Car is path management system for supplementing in-house activity for enhamcing outcomes.
The system manages paths of results - recent and future - for the purpose of presenting and supporting efforts for goal achievement. Particularly important in this process is the use of all types of variance calculations - used to quantify that the company appears headed for going off course from desired outcomes.
Also uncovered are the opposite situations, where opportunity for gain can come into view.
We have an expertise in result paths and result variances that can serve you in achieving Profit-Cash-Equity goals.
This chart depicts Pace Car in action with its “1-2 punch”. First, Pace Car is always maintaining lists of your result components and values needed for your Profit-Cash-Equity goals to come together for you. Then, it schedules periodic calculations of the gaps there might be - we can quantify that they are off course. While many of the gaps can be dismissed for good reason, others become leads for us to support you with strategic moves to resolve them and stay on course.

What is the Thinking Behind Paths and Variances?
Here is the chain of events:
1- There are numerous ways to describe the “path” of a company.
2- Two paths can be compared. Most often, we use the Pace Car Path versus the Head Here Path.
3- The former is our best possible; the latter is “if we keep going the way we are.”
4- The difference between the two paths is a “variance.” This is known as the Prime Variance and becomes dominant in the workgroup’s efforts.
5- Variances have causes. They tell stories. Companies need to read these stories.
6- Strategic Moves leverage the stories into influence over the results & set time periods. That is to say, to achieve goals for Profit-Cash-Equity.
7- This is the specialty of Pace Car by BirdTraffic.
We believe that in the world of Financial Planning & Analysis (FPA), our approach covers more ground at a controlled cost than what you will likely see. Blending the benefits of this service with your in-house efforts produces a most effective financial management component for your business.
