Live Demo: Connected cashflow scenario modelling for manufacturing and agribusiness

Cashflow Planner is a pre-built model for balance sheet and cashflow planning. Built on the Anaplan Connected Planning platform, and tailored by Zooss’ expert team with the manufacturing and agribusiness sectors in mind, it empowers finance managers to generate balance sheets and cashflow plans with ease, while stress-testing various financial scenarios. 

With detailed insights available at monthly, weekly or daily grain for five years into the future, Cashflow Planner empowers finance managers to identify and circumvent obstacles to cashflow before they become problematic, delivering reliable and dynamic cashflow forecasting to ensure financial sustainability.

Who should attend the demo?

This session is aimed at CFOs, treasury managers, financial controllers and managers in manufacturing and agribusiness who need to model short and long term cashflow scenarios.

The Cashflow Planner solution is most suitable for businesses that: 

• Have large seasonal variations in cash inflows and outflows.
• Make or resell physical products, investing in fixed assets to do so.
• Need to report on long-term cash and balance-sheet metrics for bank covenants. 

The Cashflow Planner demo includes:

• Plug in/upload your P&L forecast and key opening balances to automatically generate both a balance sheet forecast and cashflow plan.
• Manage your financing levers, like supplier/customer payment terms, short-term loans and asset hire purchase, to keep your business cash positive.
• ‘Direct’ method cashflow (e.g. ‘receipts from customers’) makes it far more useful than the ‘indirect’ approach (e.g. ‘movement in debtors’)
• Daily grain forecast for 5 years into the future helps you manage next week’s little dramas in the same place as you produce your bank covenant reports.
• Auto-balancing GL account level balance sheet forecast – with a full audit trail of the type of forecast movements on each account for every day of the year.
