Take Control of Near-Term Cash

Test how changes could affect upcoming payments—and what you can do about them.

Dryrun helps CFOs and controllers stress test operational cash flow. Explore delayed collections, unexpected expenses, or changing payment dates, then compare practical ways to keep the business funded.

  • Test Your Cash Forecast: Copy your working scenario and adjust expected receipts or payments. See whether a late customer payment or added expense could leave you short for payroll, suppliers, or other commitments.
  • Evaluate Your Next Move: Compare revised payment schedules, earlier collections, or short-term financing. Understand how each option affects projected balances so you can decide which actions to pursue.
  • Plan Where Cash Is Needed: Model transfers between accounts or entities to explore how available cash could cover upcoming needs. Check the effect on both sides before deciding when and where to move funds.

Scenario Modeling for Business Growth

Plan for Growth

Understand the cash needed to turn opportunities into achievable plans.

Dryrun gives finance teams room to explore longer-term strategy alongside everyday cash requirements. Model the costs, expected receipts, and timing of new opportunities to understand how the business could support them.

  • Explore New Opportunities: Model additional hires, equipment purchases, new locations, or potential projects. Include future activity that has not reached your accounting records to build a fuller picture of each plan.
  • Understand Funding Needs: See when investment costs arrive and when the expected cash follows. Identify how much funding a plan may require and how long the business may need that support.
  • Compare Paths to Growth: Test different start dates, spending levels, or phases of expansion. Explore a range of sales expectations to find an approach that balances opportunity with the cash available.

Present Clear Options

Show management the choices—and explore their questions together.

Turn detailed forecasts into a clear visual discussion. Dryrun helps you explain how different plans affect future cash, support your recommendation, and model new ideas while the conversation is happening.

  • Present Scenarios Visually: Show your current forecast alongside alternative plans in one chart. Make differences in cash balances, timing, and funding needs easy for the CEO, board, or owners to understand.
  • Show What Drives the Result: Start with the overall outlook, then review the receipts, payments, and assumptions behind a significant change. Give management the context to weigh the options and understand your recommendation.
  • Model Changes on the Fly: Adjust dates, amounts, or assumptions during the meeting. Answer questions such as “Could we hire sooner?” or “What if we phased the investment?” and review the effect together.

Not having cash flow on the back of my mind all day as a "what if" is really a big game changer. I'm done feeling the pain of cash flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about billing, plan features, upgrades, and trial periods.

What is Dryrun scenario planning software, and how does it differ from traditional forecasting tools?

Dryrun scenario planning software is a dynamic forecasting platform purpose-built for mid-market finance teams looking to replace brittle spreadsheets and rigid, single-point ERP tools. Unlike traditional forecasting software that relies on static historical averages, rigid P&L budgets, or black-box AI algorithms, Dryrun allows finance leaders to layer unlimited "what-if" operational scenarios directly over automated live ERP actuals.

By combining smart ERP automation with complete manual entry control, Dryrun enables CFOs to model operational pivots, such as delayed customer collections, cost increases, or strategic capital investments, without altering underlying accounting records. Its dual-timeline model seamlessly connects short-term daily and weekly operational cash positions with long-term strategic projections, giving executive teams complete clarity over future liquidity.

How does Dryrun scenario planning software help businesses anticipate and manage uncertainties?

Dryrun helps mid-market businesses navigate financial volatility by providing transaction-level timing control and side-by-side scenario comparisons. Instead of reacting to cash pinches after they occur, finance teams can shift expected customer payment dates, alter vendor payment terms, or model supply chain disruptions down to individual bills and invoices to visualize their exact impact on daily working capital.

By comparing multiple strategic scenarios side by side, Dryrun surfaces liquidity surpluses and shortfalls weeks or months in advance. This auditable foresight empowers executive leadership to proactively adjust spending, manage payment float, renegotiate terms, and make confident capital allocation decisions before volatility impacts operations.

Can Dryrun scenario planning software handle complex financial models and simulations?

Yes, Dryrun is engineered specifically to handle complex mid-market financial structures, including multi-entity consolidations, multi-currency operations, and project-level rollups. It eliminates the architectural vulnerabilities of complex spreadsheets (such as broken cross-workbook links, formula errors, and tab sprawl) while retaining the complete modeling flexibility that finance managers require.

Dryrun allows finance teams to run sophisticated sensitivity analyses, custom timing rules, and non-P&L cash flow adjustments with 100% auditability. Because every override and assumption remains completely transparent, CFOs can defend complex models to boards and executive teams without relying on unexplainable "black box" calculations.

How does Dryrun scenario planning software facilitate collaboration among team members?

Dryrun replaces fragmented, emailed spreadsheet versions with a secure, cloud-based single source of truth for corporate scenario modeling. Equipped with enterprise role-based access control, Dryrun allows finance leaders, department managers, and executives to contribute operational assumptions, review dynamic models, and track changes within a centralized environment.

This collaborative structure bridges communication gaps between finance, sales, and operations teams, replacing static static reports with interactive, boardroom-ready dashboards. During executive meetings, leadership can answer dynamic strategic questions on the fly by adjusting variables directly within shared scenario models.

Can Dryrun scenario planning software be integrated with other business systems and applications?

Yes, Dryrun features universal data ingestion that connects seamlessly with leading mid-market ERPs and accounting platforms such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and QuickBooks Online. Automated API synchronization pulls live bank balances, open receivables, and payables into baseline models, eliminating manual data-export routines.

To support comprehensive operational modeling, Dryrun also allows finance teams to upload custom spreadsheets and input manual entries. This makes it simple to integrate data from peripheral platforms like CRMs, POS systems, or project management tools, into a unified, real-time scenario planning workflow.

Is Dryrun scenario planning software suitable for businesses of all sizes and industries?

Dryrun is purpose-built for mid-market companies ($10M–$500M revenue) with complex financial operations, multi-entity corporate structures, or heavy AR/AP timing friction. Rather than targeting simple small-business accounting or requiring rigid, multi-month enterprise FP&A software implementations, Dryrun fills the critical market gap for growing organizations scaling past static ERP add-ons and brittle spreadsheets.

While adaptable across diverse sectors including manufacturing, professional services, construction, tech, and distribution, Dryrun delivers the ideal balance of automated ERP integration and granular manual control. It provides lean mid-market finance teams with the agility, multi-currency consolidation, and transaction-level precision needed to manage complex operational liquidity.

Can Dryrun scenario planning software help businesses assess the financial impact of external factors and events?

Yes, Dryrun enables mid-market finance leaders to evaluate the financial impact of external events such as economic downturns, supply chain disruptions, vendor price increases, or delayed customer collections, by pairing live ERP automation with instant manual control. Unlike rigid ERP reporting or black-box AI tools that fail to anticipate human-driven decisions and unbooked external variables, Dryrun allows finance teams to manually adjust assumptions and model ad-hoc operational scenarios on the fly.

By layering custom "what-if" models directly over automated baseline actuals, finance managers can test real-world timing friction down to individual bills and invoices. This gives CFOs and controllers clear, auditable visibility into how external disruptions will affect daily cash positions weeks or months in advance, allowing them to proactively defend working capital.

Can Dryrun scenario planning software help businesses optimize their resource allocation and strategic investments?

Yes, Dryrun helps mid-market CFOs de-risk major capital allocation decisions by modeling the exact cash flow impact of strategic investments before committing funds. By running side-by-side "what-if" simulations against real-time operational liquidity, finance teams can evaluate cash burn, debt covenants, and payback timelines without corrupting core accounting actuals.

This dynamic modeling replaces static spreadsheet extrapolations, allowing leadership to allocate capital confidently based on true cash velocity rather than misleading P&L accrual figures. By identifying potential cash surpluses or liquidity troughs early, Dryrun ensures strategic investments are funded without threatening day-to-day operational liquidity.

How does Dryrun scenario planning software support long-term strategic planning and decision-making?

Dryrun supports long-term strategic planning through a unique dual-timeline structure that seamlessly connects hyper-granular weekly operational forecasting with long-term monthly strategic modeling. Unlike static budgets or annual ERP snapshots that quickly become obsolete, Dryrun continuously updates baseline strategic models with live API actuals from your ERP, ensuring long-term projections remain grounded in operational reality.

Finance teams can project multi-year strategic horizons across multi-entity and multi-currency business structures without risking broken cross-workbook links or formula errors. This empowers executive leadership to map out multi-period growth trajectories, assess long-term funding runways, and evaluate strategic pivots with total clarity and auditability.

How does Dryrun scenario planning software help businesses communicate scenario results and recommendations effectively?

Dryrun transforms complex financial data into executive-ready visual reporting designed to bridge the communication gap between finance teams, executive leadership, and board members. Featuring variable zoom capabilities, Dryrun allows users to toggle seamlessly from high-level multi-entity group overviews down to individual transaction line items, providing immediate visual clarity without cluttering presentations with dense accounting rows.

By replacing static slide decks and emailed multi-tab workbooks with cloud-based, interactive dashboards, finance leaders can walk into executive meetings ready to answer dynamic "what-if" questions on the fly. This transparent, boardroom-ready environment builds stakeholder alignment, eliminates version-control confusion, and accelerates crucial strategic decisions.
