Annual plans start to go stale on day one, unable to account for ongoing market volatility and shifting trends. Static information puts your business at risk when you make decisions without adjusting for today’s new insights or reframing the periods ahead.
Planful uses rolling forecasts to help your business adapt to sudden changes while staying aligned with your strategic goals. Continually rolling planning periods keep your forecasts current and your business agile because you can adjust key drivers. Give your team insight into the impact of decisions over the next 12 months, not time-boxed into the current fiscal year.
“We’ve transformed from 2 forecasts per year, to quarterly forecasts, and now to monthly forecasts.”
Understand the real-time drivers of performance to optimize current period results and inform future plans. Use accurate rolling forecasts to provide more insights, redirect resources, and align priorities with business objectives.
Track submission status, assign responsibilities, stay ahead of deadlines, and collaborate with budget owners to ease budgeting and forecasting. Automatically send updates to relevant stakeholders with action items and prompts for needed information.
Ensure a single source of truth from a centralized, secure data store that brings together disparate operational systems, spreadsheets, and financial plans. Gain control and governance over all your data.
