Liquidity management for Swiss SMEs

AI-driven analysis for the cash sitting idle in your business accounts

Dovencaro reviews your historical cash flow and current reserves to surface low-risk, high-liquidity options that can be reviewed and approved before any capital moves.

The dashboard preview shows your idle balance, a recommended allocation range, and the risk-adjusted return associated with each option, updated daily.

Idle cash has a cost, even when it feels safe

Many Swiss SMEs keep a comfortable buffer in a standard business account. That buffer protects against short-term shocks, but it rarely earns anything close to what it could, and inflation quietly reduces its purchasing power over time.

  • Surplus balances sit in low- or zero-interest accounts for months at a time.
  • Finance teams lack a simple view of how much capital could be allocated without affecting day-to-day operations.
  • Manual research into short-term instruments takes time that most controllers don't have.
  • Decisions are often made on instinct rather than on a model that accounts for liquidity needs and risk tolerance.

Dovencaro was built to address this specific gap: turning idle balances into a managed, data-backed allocation process without requiring a treasury department.

How the analysis works

Three layers of analysis behind every recommendation

The platform does not guess at opportunities. It combines historical data, live market conditions, and your stated liquidity constraints before anything is suggested.

01 — Predictive modelling

Forecasting based on your own cash flow history

Dovencaro analyses twelve to twenty-four months of transaction history to estimate how much of your balance is genuinely surplus, and how that surplus tends to fluctuate across your business cycle. The model is recalculated as new data arrives, rather than relying on a one-time snapshot.

Input
Historical account statements and cash flow patterns
Output
An estimated surplus range, updated monthly
02 — Real-time risk assessment

Monitoring conditions, not just setting a strategy once

Short-term instruments carry different risk profiles depending on market liquidity and interest rate movements. The system checks these conditions continuously, so a recommendation reflects the current environment rather than assumptions made weeks earlier.

Monitored factors
Market liquidity, rate movements, counterparty exposure
Frequency
Continuous, with daily summary updates
03 — Automated recommendations

Ranked options, not a single black-box decision

Instead of a single automated trade, Dovencaro presents a short list of ranked options, each labelled with its expected liquidity window and risk-adjusted return. You, or your financial controller, decide which to approve.

Decision control
Every allocation requires manual approval
Ranking basis
Risk-adjusted return within your liquidity window
Transparency

Daily reporting instead of a quarterly summary

Most SME finance tools report performance monthly or quarterly. Dovencaro generates a report every business day, so you always know where allocated capital stands and why.

Morning snapshot

Each business day begins with an updated view of balances, active allocations, and any change in recommended positioning.

Ongoing monitoring

Risk indicators are re-checked throughout the day; material changes trigger a note in the next report rather than a silent adjustment.

End-of-day report

A written summary lands in your dashboard, covering performance, risk exposure, and liquidity available for withdrawal.

On data security: account data is processed to generate recommendations and reports; it is not used to trade on Dovencaro's own account. Data handling follows Swiss data protection requirements, and the platform is designed to operate alongside, not instead of, your existing bank relationships and regulatory obligations.
Applied to different businesses

How different SMEs use the same underlying analysis

The surplus calculation adapts to the shape of your cash flow, which varies considerably by business model.

SaaS

Subscription revenue, predictable surplus

Recurring billing produces a steadier cash flow curve, which typically allows a larger share of reserves to be allocated to slightly longer liquidity windows without affecting runway.

Typical consideration Matching allocation horizon to renewal and payroll cycles
E-commerce

Seasonal peaks, shorter liquidity windows

Inventory financing and seasonal demand mean surplus cash can shrink quickly. The model weights short-term liquidity more heavily during peak buying periods.

Typical consideration Preserving access to capital ahead of stock purchasing cycles
Professional services

Invoice timing drives the surplus estimate

Cash flow is shaped by client payment terms rather than product cycles. The model accounts for typical days-to-payment when estimating what can safely be allocated.

Typical consideration Keeping a buffer aligned to average invoice settlement time
Common questions

Liquidity, privacy, and the Swiss regulatory context

Can I access the allocated funds if I need them unexpectedly?

Each recommendation includes an explicit liquidity window. Options are ranked so that you can see, before approving anything, how quickly funds could be made available if circumstances change.

What happens to my account and transaction data?

Data is used solely to calculate your surplus estimate and generate reports. It is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes, and it is not used by Dovencaro for any purpose unrelated to your account.

Is Dovencaro regulated in Switzerland?

Dovencaro operates within the Swiss regulatory framework applicable to data-driven financial analysis tools. We recommend that each business confirm how the platform fits within its own regulatory obligations, since these can vary by sector and company size.

Does the AI make decisions automatically?

No. The system produces ranked recommendations with supporting data. A human on your side reviews and approves any allocation before it takes effect.

How is risk-adjusted return calculated?

Each option is evaluated against its expected volatility, liquidity window, and counterparty exposure, then compared on a consistent basis so that options with different risk profiles can be judged side by side.
