So why is having a Cashflow Forecasting and Planning solution so important, especially for any larger investments, like expensive capital items or additional headcount? Decisions need to be made supported by the best self-service insight and in a timely manner. Many core applications, such as general ledger and ERP solutions, are not currently providing businesses with the flexibility and what-if scenario modeling that they need. Any gaps in cash flow need to be quickly identified to make better business decisions. **HOW DO KEY DECISIONS IMPACT CASHFLOW? ** Some key questions have been: - Do we purchase a new building or take out a lease? - Do we purchase those new capital items? - Do we hire those new staff or contractors? - Do we defer these decisions, and what's also the impact on our P&L if we do? - What do we need to do to break even? - Are you getting the answers you need right now? Sempre Analytics provides performance management solutions and what-if scenario modelling. One key functional element of these solutions is providing effective **Cashflow Forecasting and Planning**. If you're already a user of [IBM Cognos Planning Analytics](https://www.sempreanalytics.com/technologies/ibm-planning-analytics-with-watson/) (powered by TM1) or [Anaplan](https://www.sempreanalytics.com/technologies/anaplan/) then the solution to address this can be implemented in a few days, and would typically start with a 13-week cash forecast over your P&L. If you’re facing challenges and maybe need a solution to the problem, do get in touch with us. We’ve got ready-made demonstrations that will show you how this solution can benefit you in the short term. ## About the author **Sempre Analytics** ## Related posts [![](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ThinkstockPhotos-469583189_2.jpg?width=352&name=ThinkstockPhotos-469583189_2.jpg) 27 May 2022](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/integrated-business-planning) [planning analytics](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/tag/planning-analytics) ### [Integrated Business Planning](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/integrated-business-planning) [![](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/AdobeStock_473690450.jpg?width=352&name=AdobeStock_473690450.jpg) 24 September 2024](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/forging-the-future-smart-manufacturing-use-cases) [budgeting and forecasting](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/tag/budgeting-and-forecasting) ### [Forging the Future: Smart Manufacturing Use Cases ](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/forging-the-future-smart-manufacturing-use-cases) [![](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/scott-graham-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?width=352&name=scott-graham-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg) 25 May 2023](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/13-week-cashflow-planning-the-new-trend-shaping-business-strategies) [Anaplan](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/tag/anaplan) ### [13-Week Cashflow Planning: Shaping Business Strategies](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/13-week-cashflow-planning-the-new-trend-shaping-business-strategies) [![](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/rawpixel-659484-unsplash-1800x1557-1.jpg?width=352&name=rawpixel-659484-unsplash-1800x1557-1.jpg) 10 March 2021](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/having-the-right-tools-are-very-powerful-for-a-finance-function) [Anaplan](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/tag/anaplan) ### [Having the right tools are very powerful for a finance function](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/having-the-right-tools-are-very-powerful-for-a-finance-function) [![](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/fabio-633881-unsplash.jpg?width=352&name=fabio-633881-unsplash.jpg) 7 March 2024](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/solving-data-integration-challenges) [Anaplan](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/tag/anaplan) ### [Solving Data Integration Challenges  ](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/solving-data-integration-challenges) [![](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/daniel-norin-lBhhnhndpE0-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?width=352&name=daniel-norin-lBhhnhndpE0-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg) 16 May 2016](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/winning-in-business-the-leicester-city-way) [Business Strategy](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/tag/business-strategy) ### [Winning in business, the Leicester City way](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/blogs/winning-in-business-the-leicester-city-way) ![anaplan-logo](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hubfs/Sempre%20Analytics%20-%202025/Images/Global/anaplan-logo.svg) ![automation-anywhere-logo](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hubfs/Sempre%20Analytics%20-%202025/Images/Global/automation-anywhere-logo.svg) ![ibm-logo-346x170](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sempre%20Analytics%20-%202025/Images/Global/ibm-logo-346x170.png?width=346&height=170&name=ibm-logo-346x170.png) ![informatica-logo](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hubfs/Sempre%20Analytics%20-%202025/Images/Global/informatica-logo.svg) ![microsoft-logo-346x170](https://resources.sempreanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sempre%20Analytics%20-%202025/Images/Global/microsoft-logo-346x170.jpg?width=346&height=170&name=microsoft-logo-346x170.jpg) Industry Solutions -
