Budgeting

Build your budget in line with your GL and your business drivers, using collaborative workflows for all departments to contribute.

Forecasting

Forecast based on your Income Statement and Balance Sheet, using personalized sandboxes to look at what-if scenarios before committing your forecast. Integrate daily actuals to perform forecast variance analysis throughout the month to facilitate actions and drive results before your month-end close.

Cashflow

Streamline your Forecast Cashflow over various time horizons, improve accuracy and instill confidence in your investors, bankers and board. Manage short-term cash positions at a day level projecting out 13 weeks, mitigate risks and effectively manage your working capital. Derive 12-month rolling cashflow by integrating your capital plan, income statement and balance sheet, creating an agile process to keep within bank covenants, mitigate risk and allocate capital to optimize returns.

Capital

Build agility into your capital planning and forecasting process; move in line with market conditions and course correct based on your financial results. Streamline and integrate your annual and quarterly process to evaluate, rank, prioritize and report on capital plans and investments, off one central repository. Increase collaborative decision-making to drive action and results.

Workforce

Stay ahead of the curve. Plan for demand increases, curtailments, and competitive compensation packages to ensure you've got the team to optimize production, whether the industry is up or down.

Projected Cut Schedules

Centralize cut schedules from mill operations, creating oversight and real-time visibility into forecasted production of MBF by species, grade, and volume. See the impact of projected daily inventory & associated dollars going out 6 weeks to ensure you are making informed profitable decisions. Link your cut schedule to your P&L to improve transparency and forecast accuracy and understand where you expect to land before you close the books.

Log Inventory Forecast

Centralize daily log inventory forecast data across mills based on shipments, your log decks and projected cut schedules, creating oversight and improved collaboration amongst resource and production teams. Inform cut schedule decisions based on forecasted daily inventory to avoid missing production targets and fulfillment orders. Link log inventory and recovery rates to your P&L and Balance Sheet forecast to increase forecast accuracy and alignment with your financial systems.

Lumber Inventory Forecast

Bring your forecasted Daily Log Inventory, Cut Schedule and Sales Demand data across all mills together in one spot and create a dynamic and collaborative planning process for your sales, production and resource teams. Increase accuracy and visibility into forecasted lumber inventory & pricing by SKU and match this up against your order file to deliver greater accuracy to order times when speaking to customers.

Demand Planning

Use order files to optimize production schedules, and further up the value chain, prioritize harvest schedules.

TUC and Harvest Schedules

Integrate TUC information from systems like LIMS to feed available timberland into wider organizational planning. Align parcel price to Lumber value to support decisions around when to harvest and what mill to deliver to.
