Clearer Runway Planning
This template made our runway and shortfall planning much easier to see. We could map the next 12 months fast and spot a funding gap before it became a problem.

I was tired of chasing statements and charts across different files. Having everything in one model cut our monthly reporting prep by 6 hours.
Building the financials by hand was taking forever. This model gave me a working forecast in one afternoon instead of spending days in spreadsheets.
It is an editable five-year Excel model that transforms shop traffic, conversion, repeated purchases, product mix, prices, costs and financing into financial statements and management reports.
Use your workbook to translate the visitors' traffic and marketing assumptions in their garden centre into monthly operational forecasts, financing needs and ready-to-decision financial results.
Editable assumptions flow through related operating schedules and display declarations, scenarios and views of the dashboard, thus updating the changing drivers for forecast results.
The model transforms visitors to the store into new buyers, makes cohorts of customers visiting the customers into monthly orders, turns orders into units and then uses a mix of categories and prices.
Daily weekly and monthly seasonality set up a pool of visitors for each period.
The conversion of visitors × visitors to buyers creates new buyers and their first orders.
The disclosed participation becomes a repeat client and each cohort is active for a certain life span.
First orders plus active recurring customers × the repeat order indicator gives orders; units on order give units sold.
Units are allocated by mix of sales and multiplied by category prices and then added to total retail revenue.
The revenue view combines traffic of visitors during the week, conversion, behaviour of recurring customers, order size, product mix, category price, start-up time and seasonality.
Revenue
The view of COGS and OPEX separates the direct costs of the product, variable costs and recurring fixed costs, so that operational assumptions can be reviewed periodically.
COGS & OPEX
The scenario compares the Low, Base, and High levels for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA over the forecast period of five years.
Scenarios
You can use the navigation desktop to review configuration controls, multiple scenarios, mix of revenues, profitability, cash flow, basic finance, assumptions of working capital and period of return of investments in one place.
Dashboard
It adapts to shops using the conversion of visitors, recurring customer cohorts, order units, product mixes, price categories and related financial statements; indeed, various mechanics may require custom work.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Models Laboratory may build or adapt the model where a different revenue logic, operational schedule or reporting is needed than provided in the ready-made template.
