Forward Planning

Plan what's next. Defend every line.

Model refreshes, compare scenarios, and budget every line on top of the live inventory finance already trusts.

Hero illustration

Two refresh scenarios shown side-by-side on the same timeline, CapEx/OpEx curves, refresh waves by year, and a budget summary tying every line back to a device, contract, or circuit.

One model, the whole horizon

What-ifs, comparisons, components, templates, every plan built on the same backbone.

Model what-ifs

Refreshes, consolidations, new demand, built on the live inventory, not a parallel sheet.

Compare side by side

Two scenarios, same lens, see the difference in cost, lifecycle, and risk.

Down to the component

Plan device, line card, and circuit replacements with full inventory context.

Reusable templates

Product, matching, and report templates, model the same shape twice, never from scratch.

Side-by-side scenarios

Compare two refresh strategies on the same data, cost, CAPEX, OPEX, and the trade-offs in plain English.

Two solutions, same scale
Cost trajectory year by year
Decision-ready summary built in

Forecasts that drill

Forecast across any horizon you need. Every line traces back to the device, contract, or circuit driving it.

Filter by supplier, action, contract type
Quarterly or annual horizons
Drill to the underlying record

Reusable product templates

Define a replacement once, every matching device picks it up, with TBM and contract type ready.

Define once, apply everywhere

Replacement BOMs roll out across every matching device.

Action-aware

Replace, retain, remove, add, actions carry context into the model.

TBM baked in

Every template inherits its TBM cost pool, no rework downstream.

Compare scenarios, model business cases, and forecast outcomes, without leaving the source of truth.

Forecast trajectory at a glance

Where the costs peak, where they level, the shape of the next decade in one chart.

Stacked OPEX and CAPEX layers
Hover for exact totals
Export-ready for board decks

Standardized actions

Every modeled change, add, replace, retain, remove, counted, costed, and ready to defend.

Device, inventory, and allocation actions
Audit trail per scenario
Roll up to program totals

TBM cost pools, automatically

Every modeled action lands in the right TBM cost pool, Capital, Maintenance, Depreciation, Lease.

Apply at device, inventory, or allocation level
Defaults you can override per scenario
Roll-up to portfolio TBM
