Every capability in Arcvue exists because a government contractor needed it and couldn't get it from their ERP, their accountant, or a spreadsheet someone built five years ago. Start with the problem that sounds most familiar.
Your ERP and Power BI can tell you what the numbers were last month. They can't tell you what happens to your covenant compliance if you lose a recompete, or what winning a new $5M contract does to your indirect rates. That kind of analysis requires interconnected engines—P&L, cash flow, debt service, and LOC sizing all responding to the same change. Excel can approximate it. It can't model the feedback loops.
When revenue drops, the impact cascades: lower EBITDA leads to less operating cash, more draws on the line of credit, higher funded debt, worse leverage—and the higher interest expense on the revolver further reduces next period's cash. A topside EBITDA adjustment in a spreadsheet misses all of that. Arcvue runs the full three-statement waterfall on every scenario. Win a contract, lose a contract, change headcount, shift your indirect rates—and see the real downstream impact on EBITDA, cash, covenants, and rate structure before anyone has to ask.
Whether you're evaluating new financing, considering a refinance because rates have dropped or you want to free up cash to invest, or trying to understand what accelerating a paydown actually does to your cash flow—the answer requires modeling the debt against your real operating forecast. Arcvue tracks every instrument in your capital structure, runs covenant compliance forward, and lets you stress-test debt obligations against specific business scenarios. When the bank calls, the answer is ready.
The data is in the ERP. Getting it out in a usable format means waiting on your controller, exporting to Excel, and doing the analysis yourself. By the time you have a number, it's already stale—and the person who pulled it can't get to anything else while they're doing it for you. If you've acquired a company and haven't integrated the books, multiply that problem by two.
Arcvue syncs your ERP nightly. Your income statement, balance sheet, and financial summaries are always available by company and division—refreshed automatically with the latest data every morning. No ad hoc report requests. No waiting for an FTE to pull and format it. That cycle of "can someone get me the numbers" goes away entirely—which means the person who used to do that work can focus on something more valuable.
Most GovCon ERPs either don't generate a cash flow statement at all, or produce one that's unusable without significant manual rework. Arcvue generates it automatically from your actuals and forecast—working capital movements, debt service, and a forward-looking cash position that tells you where you're headed, not just where you've been. For many firms, this report simply didn't exist or was unusable before Arcvue.
If you've acquired a company and never integrated the ERP—or you're running a parent-subsidiary structure with separate books—getting a consolidated view means eating up your team's time reconciling across systems. Arcvue connects to both ERPs, normalizes the chart of accounts, handles intercompany eliminations, and delivers a single consolidated view. The people who used to spend days assembling that picture can focus on running the business instead.
Somewhere in your organization, there's a fringe / overhead / G&A model that someone built years ago. One person understands how it works. It gets updated once a year—maybe. Arcvue computes your indirect rate pools nightly from ERP actuals. SCA and non-SCA pools handled separately. When you hire someone or win a contract, you know what it does to your rates the next morning—not at the next annual recalculation.
Nobody is going into your ERP to run reports on how their contracts are performing. And the quarterly program management reviews come too late—by the time leadership sees a margin problem or a burn rate issue, the damage is done. Arcvue puts contract-level performance—revenue, cost, gross profit, backlog, burn rate—directly in front of the people responsible for those contracts, along with a what-if tool to model salary or rate changes and see the impact on margins before they happen. Updated nightly. No report requests. No waiting for a review that's already three months stale by the time it happens.
Building a proposal today means manually pulling your schedule rates, mapping LCATs by hand across separate spreadsheets or files, and applying a wrap rate that's based on last year's indirect rate model. There's no market intelligence on what those LCATs should be priced at—and unless you're a large business with a dedicated pricing team, you don't have access to the tools that would tell you.
Every proposal in Arcvue prices labor using your current fringe, overhead, and G&A rates—computed nightly from your actual ERP data, not from an annual rate model. Contract vehicle libraries carry your ceiling rates for GSA MAS, OASIS+, and other vehicles. Discount levels, multiple cost pools, and escalation factors are all tracked per position. The gap between "what we priced" and "what our actual costs are" closes to nearly zero.
Arcvue pulls GSA CALC+ data and maps competitor labor categories to yours using AI-driven crosswalks—so you can see where your rates sit relative to the market and specific competitors before you submit. It's not telling you what to price. It's a sanity check against the pricing you've already built from your cost structure. The same intelligence that large firms get from dedicated pricing departments and expensive tools, available to a small or mid-size firm's CGO or pricing lead during the bid itself.

Before a proposal goes out the door, Arcvue walks through a structured audit—contract-type-specific questions, declaration responses, and a system comparison that flags discrepancies between your stated assumptions and what the numbers actually show. Confirmed items, informational findings, and items requiring manual review are all surfaced with resolution workflows. For submission-grade proposals, the audit includes a formal attestation and digital signoff. This isn't a compliance stamp—it's a governance process that ensures the pricing team and leadership are aligned on what's being submitted and why.
When you're bidding a recompete, the most important data point isn't the GSA ceiling—it's what the current incumbent is actually billing. Arcvue pulls contract obligation data directly from USAspending.gov, lets you look up any predecessor contract by PIID or search by recipient name, and compares incumbent rates against your proposed rates position by position. You see exactly where you're above, below, or in line—and you can adjust before you submit, not after you lose.
Contract forecasting is an email chain with spreadsheet attachments. Board reporting is a manual assembly exercise every quarter. Nobody is monitoring contract performance between PMRs. The answer to every new operational need is "work more" or "hire another person"—but what if the answer is neither? The work that needs doing is compilation and distribution, not analysis. You need technology, not headcount.
Arcvue auto-generates configurable reports—board packages, division summaries, P&L snapshots, covenant reports—and delivers them via email to the right stakeholders the moment your books close. Nobody has to remember to run them. Nobody has to format them. Your division leads get division-level performance. Your CFO gets the consolidated view. Your lender gets the covenant package. Configure it once, and from that point forward it just happens.
Annual budgeting in most GovCon firms is "fill out this spreadsheet and send it back." Division leads get a template, enter their best guesses without historical context, email it to someone who reconciles it by hand, and the result is a budget nobody fully trusts. Arcvue puts PMs and division leads directly in the system, entering forecasts against their contracts' actual historicals, with open and locked period controls that formalize and structure the budgeting process. Individual forecasts roll up instantly to division and company totals. No reconciliation. No version control. And because the process itself is technology-enabled, it holds up to scrutiny.
The AI assistant works across every module—ask about contract performance, explain a variance, compare scenarios, surface an anomaly in your rate structure. It operates on your actual data, not a generic model. It's optional and opt-in, tied to your own infrastructure. For the CEO who needs a quick answer without navigating to the right tab and the right filter, it's the fastest path to the number.
Whether it's a tuck-in acquisition you want to evaluate quickly, or a future sale where you need to professionalize your FP&A before going to market—the analysis requires your actual financial model as the baseline. Not a banker's projections. Not a spreadsheet someone throws together in two weeks. Your numbers, your cost structure, your contracts.
When a potential target comes across your desk, the first question isn't "what's the multiple"—it's "what would the combined entity actually look like, and can I finance this?" Arcvue lets you model the deal against your own financials. Sources & uses, earnout structures tied to target GP, post-close cash flow, indirect rate impact on day one, covenant compliance under the combined debt load. The questions that usually take weeks of Excel modeling are answered in the time it takes to input the deal terms. If the answer is "we can't finance this at this price"—you know that in a day, not after two weeks of analysis.
If you're thinking about a sale in the next 12–24 months, every buyer, lender, and diligence team will ask the same questions: show me a defensible revenue waterfall, show me contract-by-contract forecasts that aren't just a spreadsheet someone filled out, show me pipeline coverage ratios that justify your growth story, show me EBITDA adjustments tracked monthly. The firms that have this ready move faster to LOI, build more buyer confidence, and close with less friction and fewer re-trades. Arcvue doesn't replace your investment banker—it gives them the data room they wish every client had.
Every opportunity is binary—you win it or you don't. Arcvue calculates pipeline coverage ratios against your actual growth targets and cost structure, time-phased by division across the forecast horizon. Whether you're presenting to a buyer, a board, or a lender, the coverage ratios tell a story the audience can verify: this is how much pipeline we have, this is what we need to hit the number, and here's the gap by division and by year. Probability weighting is available as a sanity check, but the coverage ratio uses unweighted pipeline—because in GovCon, every opportunity is binary.
