# Intelligence: HVAC Equipment

## Pain Points

- Seasonal demand patterns

- Refrigerant regulations

- Heavy equipment logistics

- Installation timing coordination

## Solutions (Unicorn Currencies)

- Seasonal FX planning

- Multi-currency supplier payments

- Container tracking for heavy equipment

- Project payment coordination

## Payment Profile

- **Timing:** Stock orders: T/T 30/70. Project orders: milestones. Spares: Net 30.

- **Settlement priority:** HIGH in season: Heatwave = AC rush, cold snap = heating emergency. Out of season more flexible.

- **Invoice terms:** 30/70 T/T (stock), milestones (projects), Net 30 (spares and established accounts).

- **FX risk:** MODERATE: CNY (volume), JPY (Daikin etc), EUR (premium). Seasonal ordering allows FX planning.

- **Cash flow:** Highly seasonal: AC orders Mar-May, heating Sep-Nov. Stock buildup ahead of season. Emergency demand unpredictable.
