Welcome to

MAW-BirdTraffic.

If you are an independent business in wholesale distribution, we have a valuable alternative for your financial planning & analysis (FPA)

Financial Planning & Analysis

BirdTraffic Method

The BirdTraffic method for FPA can assist you on recurring, special or urgent projects - on a one time only or an ongoing basis. It has been developed with you - the owner, officer or manager in a private distribution business - in mind. See more on BirdTraffic method

You will see that we divide FPA into two levels - FPA and FPA-Plus.

FPA1

What we call “FPA1” is traditional. You will recognize it as reporting, budgeting and forecasting and such, and you are certainly already doing it - to various extents. If there are gaps due to capacity, experience or any other reason, we can help. We charge in a traditional way, per hour, per project, per month, which you would expect. We would use our BirdTraffic Method but it would be support for our efforts to produce exactly what you need in the formats you need.

FPA1 helps us fulfill part of our mission - to assist owners and managers to accomplish short and long term goals. See more on FPA1.

FPA-Plus

What we call “FPA-Plus” is the opposite approach.

FPA-Plus is a subscription service that employs the four engines of BirdTraffic to fulfill another part of our mission - to find and shape results that carry impact for value-profit-cash.

In this process our Owl engine (guidance) does the finding and our Hawk engine (influence) does the shaping. In between Crow does the organizing and Eagle does the display.

FPA-Plus is unique in that it both leads and collaborates. Leads in the sense that there is a steady stream of content to user attempting to suggest strategic moves. Collaborates in the sense that there is a process that fosters valuable interaction with the user.

The aim of FPA-Plus is to keep impact higher than FPA1 and cost lower than FPA1.
