Spend less time maintaining your forecast. Automate routine updates and calculations while keeping the control you need to understand the numbers and plan ahead.
Anticipate Upcoming Payments
Fill the gaps in your 13-week cash forecast before invoices and bills arrive.
Dryrun’s transaction-level Auto Forecast uses recent history to predict payments that have not yet been invoiced or billed. Give your team a more complete near-term cash outlook without entering every expected receipt or expense.
- Forecast Beyond Open Invoices and Bills: Build expected payments into your forecast before they appear in your accounting records. This is especially useful for repeating expenses that need to be included in upcoming cash requirements.
- Choose How Predictions Are Built: Apply forecasting methods across an entire section or fine-tune them for individual customers and vendors. Select different methods and historical time ranges to reflect the payment patterns that matter.
- Avoid Double Counting Automatically: As actual activity is recorded, Dryrun accounts for it in the automated forecast so predicted payments and recorded transactions are not counted twice. Keep your outlook current with less manual checking.
Automate Your Long-Term Outlook
Create account-level projections that give you a starting point for planning.
Dryrun’s account-level Auto Forecast supports longer-term, P&L-style forecasting. Build projections across revenue and expense accounts, then use your knowledge of the business to shape the assumptions behind them.
- Set Your Approach by Account: Choose a forecasting method for an entire section or customize it down to individual general ledger accounts. Use the approach that fits each part of your business.
- Adjust Expectations in a Click: Override an automated projection when you expect something different. Apply a predicted 5% increase, revise an expense, or make another targeted adjustment without rebuilding the forecast.
- Model Changes Over Time: Apply compound calculations to explore how growth or cost increases build across future periods. Turn your assumptions into a longer-term outlook you can review, compare, and explain.
Set It Once.
Keep It Flexible.
Build repeating items and connected calculations without re-entering the same work.
Some forecast items follow a schedule; others depend on what happens elsewhere in the business. Dryrun lets you set up both, reducing repetitive updates while keeping changes easy to manage.
- Create Flexible Repeat Schedules: Quickly build forecast items with virtually any repeat structure. Account for regular payments, scheduled receipts, and other recurring activity using the timing your business needs.
- Update the Right Periods: Adjust repeating items as plans change. Carry a revision forward from a chosen point or apply it across the entire range, without editing every occurrence individually.
- Connect Accounts With Rules: Create dependencies and allocations that calculate automatically. Link costs to revenue or distribute amounts across accounts, then adjust the rules as your assumptions change.
