Cash flow forecasting software projects your future cash position by pulling data in real time from your ERP, typically over a 13-week period, so finance teams can strategically manage spend, investments, and income, whether cash is tight or plentiful. Centime builds the forecast automatically from your real ERP transactions and lets you model what's next, so it's always current and always actionable.

98%
of finance leaders lack full confidence in cash-flow visibility
BlackLine, 2024
Stale numbers
10 days
median to produce period-end reports, so figures are already a week old
APQC, 2026
Time lost to data
~25%
of FP&A time goes to analysis; the rest is gathering data

Automated forecasting

A forecast built from real data, not manual inputs

Centime pulls real-time data straight from your ERP, AP, AR, payroll, journal entries, and bank balances, and rolls the forecast forward automatically. No exporting, no re-keying, no version-control nightmares. The forecast is live because the data behind it is.

  • Built from real-time ERP data: AP, AR, payroll, and journal entries
  • Rolls forward automatically, every week
  • The 13-week direct-method standard, done for you

AI forecasting

Smarter predictions for when cash actually moves

Centime's AI predicts timing, when customers will really pay and when bills will clear, so your forecast reflects reality, not just due dates. The result is a forward view your team can plan against with confidence.

  • Predicts real payment and collection timing
  • Reflects behavior, not just due dates
  • A forecast you can actually act on

The differentiator

Don't just read your forecast. Model it.

Most tools hand you a static report that mirrors the past. The Cash Forecasting Workbench turns your 13-week forecast into an AI-powered Decision Desk for real-time scenario planning, in two parts.

  • Baseline forecast learns your real payment and collection patterns from your ERP, AP, and AR.
  • Interactive Workbench models what-if scenarios in plain language. Type "what if DSO increases by 10 days across all accounts next week" and see the cash impact instantly.
  • Runs across all entities, so you can test a change and see the impact group-wide.

The strategic view

Forecasting is how you steer working capital

A forecast is only as good as the data behind it. Centime's is accurate because AP and AR aren't bolted on, they're native to the same platform. Start with forecasting, and connect the AP and AR that feed it whenever you're ready, so the same view that shows your runway also lets you act on it.

  • Real-time ERP data feeds an always-current forecast
  • No double entry, native ERP sync
  • Connects to AP, AR, and expense on one platform
