Demand Planner

Every CFO knows the moment the model breaks.

Stop modeling in spreadsheets that nobody else can open. Override cells and run structured what-ifs on your live 13-week forecast — without touching the Cash Flow Forecast tab.

01 — How it works

Override cells. Model what-ifs. Keep baseline clean.

Same 13-week table as your Cash Flow Forecast — editable here only. Structured scenarios and cell overrides stay on this tab.

1
Override

Click any cell on the 13-week forecast — AR collections, AP and PO timing, debt draws, budgeted revenue and expenses — and type the number you want to model.

2
Model

Use the Scenario Lab for structured what-ifs, or stack cell overrides by hand. DayZero recalculates ending cash week by week, including your lowest cash week.

3
Save

Snapshot the plan as a named, dated version you can revisit. Overrides stay on the Demand Planner — your live Cash Flow Forecast tab stays clean.

02 — What you can model

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

Pick a scenario below and watch the 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.

Live forecast stays clean

Overrides and saved versions apply only in Demand Planner. The Cash Flow Forecast tab keeps showing your unadjusted baseline.

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.
