Most people use spreadsheets to create a financial projection or forecast. So, forecasting software needs to do a much better job than Excel for starters! To achieve this, the software must:
Have a powerful modelling capability to create calculations that are flexible with a powerful and easy formula editor
Allow planning with high granularity of data such as product, customer, or contract
Have a financial model (P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow)
Provide formulae which link throughout the model in real-time with no batch process to run
Yes, it does! Workday Adaptive Planning takes in detailed multi-dimensional sales data:
Demand planning functionality is available in Workday Adaptive Planning for sales forecasting
Workday Adaptive Planning is often used for demand planning which is the forecasting of sales by dimensions such as sales channel, salesperson, and product SKU
Cloud-based planning software is far less complicated than traditional on-premise installed planning software. It's easier for finance administrators to manage and own without specialist consulting. Modern cloud planning software is also functionally rich, taking code-intensive reliant models to out-of-the-box functionality in the cloud.
It sure does. Workday Adaptive Planning is a powerful business modelling tool. It takes the most complex business rules found in typical revenue models such as billing, revenue recognition rules and scenarios around volumes, rates and product mix, into the equation.
