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 our competitor drops their prices, can we match their price and still remain profitable?
  • Will we need to add personnel to deliver a new release next quarter?
  • Do we have the cash flow to launch a new product, invest in new technology, or expand to new markets?
  • What will the impact of increase in website traffic have on customer service staffing?

WITH PLANNING MAESTRO YOU CAN

Assess revenue streams

  • Model revenue for subscriptions, licenses, maintenance, professional services, etc. with varying recognition schedules (upon booking, even payments, over the life of a contract)
  • Easily apply revenue recognition and accounts receivable schedules to your assumptions and immediately see the impact of deferred revenue and cash on your P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
  • Forecast revenue for subscription renewals based on retention rates

Monitor cash flow

  • Better understand the effects of new product investment on cash flow
  • Manage costs associated projects by measuring cash flow more precisely
  • Ensure cash availability to develop new technology and investment initiatives

Manage growth

  • Be ready for growth with frequent re-forecasting based on updated actual data, new orders, what-if scenarios, etc.

Sustain appropriate resources

  • Integrate personnel required levels for all employees (i.e. services, support, sales)
