The apparel industry is a significant contributor to the economy of Sri Lanka. Small and medium enterprises are the most powerful sector in this industry. However, managing the financial liquidity in the SME apparel industry is a moderate challenge in Sri Lanka. Cash flow and liquidity are mismanaged by the authority, the SME apparel industry lacks maintaining cash flow statements, insolvency of SME businesses due to bankruptcy, and the tendency to have a risk when making a decision are the main problems for managing financial liquidity management system in SME apparel in Sri Lanka. This paper proposes an AI-powered financial liquidity management system specifically designed for the SME apparel businesses in Sri Lanka including machine learning, artificial intelligence techniques, and predictive analytics to provide real-time insights and proactive decision support for managing liquidity and it is a system that can manage employee’s salary, details, business’s income, business’s outcome, and risks. This proposed solution provides an excellent way of authentication and authorization, generating reports, risk prediction, and automating the cash flow infrastructure.
