Revenue forecasting
An always-live revenue forecast that shows you where to focus.
Test what a pricing change, churn improvement, or new GTM motion does to your ARR, runway, and gross margin. All within a simple, current dashboard instead of a complex, outdated spreadsheet.
When it works, revenue forecasting shows you which lever to pull to change your business trajectory. Seeing the impact of churn, pricing, ramp, quota attainment, and new business tells you where to focus. Most founders miss this because manually maintaining a revenue plan is time-consuming, and even updated plans rarely tell a clear story or model the true impact of key changes. The result: You operate without a strong understanding of long-term implications or what needs to be true to hit your goals.
What you need is a forecast that stays current automatically, surfaces the levers supporting the forecast, and tells you where to focus. Parallel gives you a live view of each key lever and how it impacts your next 12 months on revenue, runway, and metrics.
The levers that drive your revenue forecast
Customer-grounded
The forecast is built from your customer data, new business, expansion, and churn, with deferred revenue handled in the background. It reflects the customers you actually have, not a theoretical curve.
Scenario modeling
Create a scenario for any decision and see how it impacts runway, burn, and gross margin. Or run conservative, base, and aggressive scenarios side by side. You base your decision on real forecasts, not guesswork.
SaaS metrics
MRR, ARR, gross margin, CAC payback, burn multiple, and other key metrics update as your revenue assumptions change so you can see the performance impact of every decision.
Locked plans
Commit to a plan, lock it, and Parallel tracks your budget vs actuals month by month, so you can see where reality pulled away from the forecast and which assumptions to tighten.
Always current
The model is grounded in actuals synced from your accounting software, so the base you're testing against always reflects the business as it is right now. Connect your books once and the model stays current.
