SaaS bottom-up revenue forecasting

SaaS revenue isn’t one number. It’s new ARR, expansion, renewals, and churn and more, each moving independently, each modeled separately, and none of it connected to the financial plan. Planful builds your bottom-up revenue model in one place, so pipeline data flows into bookings, ARR, and recognized revenue without manual work in between.

What you can do with Planful

Model ARR from the ground up

Build your revenue forecast by segment, product, or cohort. New ARR, expansion, churn, and net retention all flow into a single connected model.

Connect your CRM and ERP data

Pull pipeline and bookings data from Salesforce or your ERP automatically so your revenue model always reflects the latest deal activity. No manual steps.

Handle any revenue structure

Forecast subscription, usage-based, and consumption models in the same plan. No workarounds for each pricing structure your business runs.

Analyze by segment, region, or cohort

Drill into ARR by product line, region, or customer segment to see where growth is happening and where churn is concentrated.

Why teams love it

Your CRM and your model, in sync

When pipeline lives in Salesforce and the revenue model lives in Excel, the forecast is always a few days behind. Planful connects CRM data to your ARR model automatically so new deals, expansions, and churn flow into the forecast as they happen. Finance and sales are always working from the same number.

What's growing, what's churning, and why

Net revenue retention tells you how healthy the business is, but not why. In Planful, you break ARR down by segment, product, region, or cohort to see exactly where expansion is coming from and where churn is concentrated. The analysis that used to take days now takes minutes.

Bookings that flow straight into the financial plan

ARR is the top line. But SaaS CFOs need to know what it means for recognized revenue, billings, and cash flow. Planful translates your bookings model into financial projections automatically so the whole plan (headcount, expenses, and revenue) stays connected.
