Demand Planner

Every CFO knows the moment the model breaks.

Stop modeling in spreadsheets that nobody else can open. Ask DayZero the cash-flow what-ifs your board actually asks about — on your live 13-week forecast.

01 — How it works

Three steps. No formulas. Ever.

Ask, review, save. The same loop a junior analyst would run — only it takes seconds instead of an afternoon.

1
Ask

Describe the change in plain English. "Add a $200k PO in week 3. Pull a $300k collection forward. Delay that vendor payment by three weeks."

2
Review

DayZero applies the change to your live 13-week cash forecast and shows the impact week by week — including your lowest cash week.

3
Save

Snapshot the scenario as a named, dated version you can revisit, and clear your overrides to return to baseline anytime.

02 — What you can ask

Run the cash-flow what-ifs your board actually asks about.

Pick a question below and watch your live 13-week forecast move. These are the questions every operator answers every week — now they take seconds, and you can defend every number.

03 — Live data, not vibes

Grounded in your actual ledger.

Every scenario starts from your real 13-week cash forecast — AR, AP, POs, debt, and budget — refreshed as your data syncs. No more “is the model up to date?”

Built on real numbers

Every scenario starts from your live 13-week cash forecast — AR, AP, POs, debt, and budget — refreshed as your data syncs.

Adjust the real levers

Override the cells that drive cash: expected AR collections, AP and PO timing, debt draws and paydowns, and budgeted revenue and expenses.

Saved versions stay put

Your live forecast updates as actuals arrive, while each saved scenario version stays frozen so last month's plan is still there to compare.

04 — Versions & history

Defend every number. Show your work.

Every scenario is named, dated, and reversible. Pull up the version you saved last quarter, and compare any scenario against your current baseline.

Defend every number

Every scenario is named, dated, and reversible. Pull up the version you saved last quarter, or clear overrides to reset.

Compare against baseline

See how your scenario shifts each week's cash against your current forecast — the deltas, week by week.

Your changes are saved

Each version keeps the overrides you applied, so you can see exactly what you changed and why the forecast moved.
