Seer — by Ordine
Thirteen weeks of cash on one page, before it’s a problem.
Ordine Seer is the forecasting and budgeting tool built inside Ordine, available on its own for firms that don’t need the crew side. A 13-week cash flow from your bank balance, your commitments and the rules you set. A 12-month budget against actuals from Xero or a spreadsheet.
A projection of your own figures, on a page you open yourself. Seer never suggests a number and it isn’t advice — it is the arithmetic, kept honest, every week.
New for autumn 2026, built on the job-cost forecasting that has run inside our tester’s system since April 2025. Early access from October.
Ordine Seer · Your Company13 weeks from Mon 7 Sep| Week | In | Out | Closing | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 · 28 Sep | — | £4,130 | £20,330 | Pay run · committed Rent |
| 5 · 5 Oct | — | £9,980 | £10,350 | VAT quarter · assumption |
| 6 · 12 Oct | £5,609 | £180 | £15,779 | Invoice due · expected |
| 7 · 19 Oct | — | £555 | £15,224 | CIS due 22 Oct · committed |
Committed comes from your pay runs and issued invoices. Expected is approved work not yet run. Assumption is a rule you wrote down — rent on the 1st, the VAT quarter, the van on Fridays.
Read it instead
Most firms find out about a cash squeeze at the same moment the bank does. Ordine Seer puts the next 13 weeks of cash on one page. It starts from the bank balance you type in on a Monday, and rolls forward through everything that's known: pay runs, CIS, invoices, and the rules you set for rent, VAT and the van. It shows the low point, the week it lands, and what causes it. And every line says how sure it is: committed, expected, or an assumption you wrote down. Then the second question: are we where we said we'd be? A 12-month budget against your actuals, account by account. A month that hasn't been imported says “no actual” — never zero. A missing month can't pose as a good one. Seer never suggests a number, and it isn't advice. It's the arithmetic of your own figures, kept honest, every week. Use it on its own, or inside Ordine, where pay runs and invoices arrive by themselves. Ordine Seer. 13 weeks of cash, before it's a problem.
What it does
Two pages that answer the two questions owners actually ask.
Will we be all right in six weeks?
The 13-week cash flow starts from a bank balance you type in on a Monday and rolls forward through everything that is known: pay runs on their payment dates, CIS on the 22nd, invoices on their due dates, and the rules you set for rent, VAT, HP and the rest. It shows the low point, the week it lands, and what causes it. Every line is marked committed, expected or assumption, so a rule you wrote is never mistaken for money that is certain.
Are we where we said we’d be?
A twelve-month budget by account and, if you want it, by department — civils and cablers side by side. Actuals come in from Xero or from a CSV your accountant exports in two minutes. A month with no actual says “no actual”, never zero, so a missing import can’t pose as a good month. You write the reason next to any variance, and it prints on the export.
Where the numbers come from
Your chart of accounts and monthly actuals, imported from CSV today and pulled from Xero, read-only, from October. Your bank balance, dated, never overwritten. The rules you set. And if you run Ordine, your pay runs, CIS due dates and issued invoices arrive on their own — nobody types them twice.
What it deliberately isn’t
Seer does not connect to your bank directly, does not invent assumptions, does not file anything, and does not tell you what to do. It shows you the arithmetic of your own figures, clearly, and leaves the decision where it belongs. Your accountant will like it, because the assumptions are written down.
On its own, or inside Ordine
Same tool. Two ways to have it.
| Seer on its own | Inside Ordine | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it’s for | Any firm of five to fifty people that wants to see its cash before the bank does — no crews, no day sheets needed | Contractors already running pricing, day sheets and crew pay in Ordine |
| 13-week cash flow | From your bank balance, your rules and your invoices — typed or imported | The same, plus pay runs, CIS due dates and issued invoices fed automatically from approved work |
| Budget vs actual | Actuals from CSV now, Xero from October | The same, with departments taken from your crews |
| Job cost & forecast to completion | — | Included: margin by job as it is earned, crew variance, forecast at completion |
| Price | Early access from £75 a month, fixed for twelve months. Set-up £300. | Included in the Ordine licence |
Start with Seer, add Ordine when the crew side becomes the problem — or the other way round. It is one login either way.
Early access
Five places. Onboarding from October.
A discounted set-up and the monthly price fixed for twelve months, in exchange for honest feedback every fortnight and your agreement that we can use your data — anonymised, never identifying your business or your people — to make Seer better for everyone on it. You bring a bank balance, a chart of accounts and two months of actuals; you leave the first session with your own thirteen weeks on the screen.
What Seer is, in one sentence.
Software you run that projects your own figures forward and shows you the result. It is not a forecast we prepare for you, it is not a recommendation, and it is not advice of any kind — we are not a firm of accountants and we don’t advise on tax. When a number on the page needs a professional judgement, that is a conversation for your accountant, and the page will have made it a short one.
