Our Story | Forecast 5

Back a few years when Geof Nightingale, the New Zealand distributor of Sage WinForecast and a chartered accountant, saw that the future of Sage WinForecast was bleak with no product development and a management change of Sage, he decided that he needed to find another product.

But after extensive searching, he was unable find anything that provided a full budgeting solution as Sage Winforecast did. He considered his options and concluded the best way was to write his own solution. Thus, Forecast 5 was born.

He gave the old, obsolete Sage Winforecast a much-needed face-lift and modernisation. He used SQL Server as the database for Forecast 5 resulting in an increase in security and stability. Provided a familiar Microsoft office interface for ease of use and simplified the data entry process with a single data entry screen. This was just the start!

Since the release of Forecast 5, we have continually enhanced the product with Geof’s accounting knowledge and great suggestions from our growing customer base.

Forecast 5 is developed for Accountants, by Accountants

I can't find anything to compare with Forecast 5. I must congratulate you and/or whoever has developed the programme. It's replaced Sage 50 Forecasting and improved on it
