Forecasting Shouldn't Take Longer Than the Period You're Forecasting

Forecasts Are Stale Before They're Final

Your team spends days pulling actuals from the ERP, reconciling CRM pipeline data, and manually updating spreadsheet models. By the time the forecast is ready for leadership, the assumptions behind it have already changed.

?

Sales, Finance, and Ops Are Forecasting in Silos

Revenue forecast lives in a CRM dashboard. Headcount plan lives in an HR spreadsheet. Expense forecast lives in FP&A's model. Nobody's numbers agree and your consolidated view is always a week behind reality.

"What If" Takes Days, Not Minutes

The CEO asks what happens if you delay a product launch or accelerate hiring. You disappear for two days to rebuild the model. By the time you surface with an answer, the window for action has closed and the decision was made without your numbers.

How Cube Fixes This

Forecasting That's Continuous, Connected, and Trusted

Build rolling forecasts that update as your business moves

Connect your ERP, CRM, and HRIS once. Cube syncs actuals and operational data continuously. Build driver-based forecast models in Excel or Google Sheets, and Cube keeps every input current so your rolling forecast always reflects reality. No more week-long manual refresh cycles.

Run unlimited what-if scenarios in seconds, not days

Adjust a single revenue driver and watch the impact cascade across your entire P&L, cash flow, and headcount plan. Toggle between a base case, bear case, or upside scenario instantly, all inside your spreadsheets. When leadership asks "what if?", you have the answer before the meeting ends.

Scenario Comparison — Total Revenue FY2026 Bear Case $24.8M Base Case $28.1M Upside $33.6M KEY DRIVERS — BASE CASE Pipeline Conv.: 22% · ACV Growth: 8% · Churn Rate: 4.2% · New Rep Ramp: 6 mo. Edit → ✦ Smart Forecast Base case aligns within 3% of trailing 12-month trends. Bear case requires $2.1M pipeline acceleration. Confidence: 91% based on 3-year trend analysis

Track forecast vs. actuals before variances become problems

Actuals sync automatically from your ERP and operational systems. AI-powered variance analysis surfaces the "why" behind every deviation and recommends whether to adjust the forecast or flag an operational issue. Your forecast stays a living document, not a static snapshot.

Forecast vs. Actuals — March 2026 LINE ITEM FORECAST ACTUAL VARIANCE Headcount (FTEs) 142 138 -4 (under) Compensation $2,180K $2,040K -$140K (94%) Contractors $320K $410K +$90K (128%) Software & Tools $180K $195K +$15K (108%) Travel & Events $95K $72K -$23K (76%) ✦ AI Forecast Variance Commentary Contractor overspend (+$90K) is driven by 3 unplanned hires to accelerate the Q2 product launch. Recommend revising Q3-Q4 forecast upward by $60K/mo. Comp savings (-$140K) from delayed hires partially offset. Net impact: $35K favorable.
