GET THE ANSWERS YOU NEED

Easy-to-use what-if scenario capabilities allow you to change assumptions and immediately see the impact on your revenue, expenses, and cash flow. For example:

If we need to add four more people to meet milestones, can we stay on-budget for this project?
If we receive 10% of our receivables later than planned, how will it affect cash flow?
If one of our trucks breaks down will we be able to replace it and what would the impact be on other projects and cash flow?
