Creating a budget and a sales forecast for your business is a critical first step towards business success. LivePlan helps you create the smart budgets and forecasts you need for your business—No MBA or other financial knowledge required.
Once those forecasts are in place, you need a process to manage change, to react to new information, and to keep everything up to date — a live plan. That’s what the LivePlan Dashboard provides. See how your actual performance matches up with your expectations and chart a better course for your business.
The LivePlan Dashboard helps you dig into areas of your business that aren’t going as well as expected. Maybe your new product launch or second location’s opening is two months late, so the revenue that you forecast for those months doesn’t exist. Maybe a key assumption about your target market, or your price point, turns out to be off base. Maybe it takes longer to find the right salesperson to ramp up revenue. Whatever it is, something is guaranteed to happen that you didn’t expect. The LivePlan Dashboard allows you to see exactly what levers need to be dialed up or down, tweaking your strategy to meet expectations and hit realistic goals.
