How does the platform produce a rolling 13-week cash forecast operators trust?
Cash forecasts are built in Excel from a snapshot of AR and a guess at payroll. When the actual lands at the end of the week, it bears little resemblance to the forecast, and capital decisions are made on stale data.
Detail
A rolling 13-week cash forecast is built from the same data that drives the ledger: AR collections by payer with historical lag, payroll from the schedule, AP from approved invoices and recurring commitments, debt service, and capex commitments. Variance to forecast is reported weekly with explanations.
Forecast accuracy moves from ±15% to inside ±5%. Treasury decisions — line-of-credit draws, distributions, capex timing — are made on data instead of intuition.
