Run the diagnostic →What it is
A time-series model combines payable terms, receivable behaviour by customer, payroll and seasonality to forecast weekly cash position. Replaces error-prone spreadsheet rolls and helps treasury optimise short-term placements.
Data you need
24+ months of AP/AR transactions, terms by customer, payroll calendar.
Required systems
- accounting
- erp
Why it works
- Customer-level disaggregation for top 20 accounts
- Weekly comparison of forecast vs actuals
How this goes wrong
- Model breaks when a top customer changes payment behaviour
- Forecast not refreshed weekly enough to act
When NOT to do this
Skip if you have under €5M revenue, a good treasurer's spreadsheet is enough.
