Sage
Financial Forecasting
Accurate business forecasting
and budgeting is the key to business growth and
success in today's complex business environment.
It not only helps you and your business plan effectively
for the future, but it gives you a powerful tool
for managing the present with confidence. Forecasts
allow businesses to identify any potential problems
and take action to avert them, or to identify opportunities
that can be exploited with a bit of astute planning.
With Sage Financial Forecasting (SFF) you'll find
it easier and quicker than ever to: |
| |
- Plan effectively and gain a wider view of your
business
- Monitor your company's financial health on a weekly,
monthly or annual basis - whichever suits you best
- Demonstrate total professionalism in the information
you provide to your business partners, clients and
bank
- Explore future growth opportunities and potential
risks with advanced 'What if?' scenarios
|
| |
Many
companies simply don't do any forecasting at all,
often because they feel that they don't have the
time, the expertise or the right software for the
job. Alternatively many businesses use spreadsheets
to create their forecasts, but these are error prone
- with up to 85% containing errors. Sage Financial
Forecasting enables you to create accurate financial
forecasts for your business that can be as detailed
as you need.
Sage Financial Forecasting also handles all double
entry and performs all complicated calculations
such as those involved in factoring and provisions.
Reports such as Profit and Loss, Cash Flow, Balance
Sheet and Funds Flow are supplied as standard, and
can be viewed at any time. It also enables you to
investigate any number of "What if?" scenarios
to better plan for the future.
We recognise that your business data is often stored
within a variety of locations so Sage Financial Forecasting
will work equally well on its own or when it is linked
direct to Sage accounting software (Line 50, Line
100 and MMS), Sage Payroll or Excel spreadsheets.
This integration functionality can help automate
much of the initial data entry tasks and the updating
of forecasts with actual data as the year progresses.

Accounts and Finance
Sage MMS flexes to your business, allowing you
to budget by cost centre and department. Powerful
consolidation of multiple companies – even
with different nominal structures and operating
currencies - means your system can grow with
your business. Alerts and batch entry features
ensure rapid, error-free data entry, while in-depth
reporting and graphical analysis ensure you are
always in control.
Customers
Deal effectively with customers by storing all details
and maintaining effective credit control. If a
significant number of your customers need to deal
in a foreign currency, Sage MMS gives you the tools
to meet this need – effectively.
Suppliers
Maintain consistent, controlled relationships with
your suppliers. Store full details of your purchases
and benefit from tools to help you make best use
of your credit terms with your suppliers.

your product lines. You can manage different stock
locations completely independently, in terms of
replenishment, sales, reporting and stock takes.
Custom search categories and wildcard searches
will assist you in managing large numbers of product
lines. Serial and batch controlled items can be
managed, and you can buy and sell in different
units of measure.
