SMART Cash Flow Forecast

Adapted from the Pulse Dashboard fact sheet "SMART Cash Flow Forecast overview", April 2020.

The SMART Cash Flow Forecast is part of the Financial Control module, for Macola® Progression, ES and 10. It replaces the cash projection that somebody rebuilds in Excel every week.

Display up to 20 columns of weeks, months or a combination, with full drill-down into the underlying details. You can add an unlimited number of "Other" expenses — payroll, loan payments, profit distributions and anything else that does not come out of Macola®.

What makes it SMART

The Accounts Receivable and unshipped customer order forecasts are calculated from each customer's average days to pay, not from your payment terms. A customer on net 30 who reliably pays in 47 days is forecast at 47 days.

What-if analysis

You can offset the normal calculations for Accounts Receivable and Customer Orders — Open by a number of days or by a percentage. That lets you hold three forecasts side by side: one on each customer's average days to pay, one with payments slowing by 20 days, one with payments slowing by 30%.

Installation takes about an hour.
