What is Forecasting?
|
|
Businesses need to understand
and predict what the future holds for them so that they can
make important decisions about their finances. To do this is,
Businesses need to produce reliable models of their future
profits, cash flow and financial strengths.
Traditionally businesses have used spreadsheets or undertaken
complicated manual calculations to workout future financial
projections.
Now Sage has the solution, linking your software with Sage
Forecasting Software to create efficient and error free plans
for the next couple of years.

What does it mean for your business?
|
|
Most businesses have to write business plans and produce other
documentation for themselves, banks and other financial
institutions. Forecasting is a crucial element to any business
plan and most cover the next three years. These forecasts are
often key to organizations like banks when they make loan or
overdraft decisions.
Sage Forecasting software is an easy to use, yet powerful
package that enables you to quickly and confidently produce
cash flow and financial forecasts for the next 36 months from
the start of the current financial year. This allows you to analyze
any discrepancies, to take any necessary action and to present
a complete business plan to your bank or other relevant organization.

Why spreadsheets are inadequate!
|
|
Until now, forecasting is a task that has been commonly done
with spreadsheets, requiring you to re-key information that
you already hold elsewhere and then double check to make sure
that all of your calculations are correct. With a task as
seemingly difficult as forecasting this can be a daunting
prospect. Research has shown that 90% of all spreadsheets
contain serious calculation errors and this naturally affects
the reliability of your forecasts and business plans.
Sage Forecasting software takes the data already held in your
accounting system and produces accurate forecasts for the next
three years saving you valuable time, expense and costly
mistakes. Once created, Sage Forecasting also allows you to
adjust the forecast to take into consideration other financial
factors such as price increases and inflation, or produce
"What If" scenarios to see the effect of any changes
such as taking on staff, buying more equipment etc.

The solution from Sage
|
|
Sage Forecasting software has been designed to ensure that you
have access to all the facts, figures and financial data you
will need to remain in control of your business and to make
informed decisions about future plans. What's more you can
produce your cash flow and financial forecasts in a fraction
of the time it takes using spreadsheets or manual systems.
With Sage Forecasting software you'll find that budgeting and
planning is a simple and straightforward year-round discipline
rather than an annual task. In addition, because Sage
Forecasting links directly with Sage Line 50 for Windows and
Sage Instant Accounting, before any data is exported from your
accounting package into Sage Forecasting, the Forecast
Generator will check and confirm that all selections are
correct and that the balance sheet actually balances.
You must have Sage Line 50 (version 4 or 5) or Sage Instant
Accounting (98 or 2000) installed before you can use this
program |
