A draw planned too early or too large costs interest you did not need to pay. A Borrowing Requirement Forecasting Playbook reads the cash projection, scheduled outflows, and committed facility headroom, projects peak funding need week by week, and shows when and how much to draw before the borrowing window closes.
The Challenge
A funding plan built once at the start of the quarter assumes the peak lands sooner and larger than it does. So the draw goes out early, the interest clock starts, and the cash sits idle until the need actually arrives.
A seasonal inventory build and a debt service payment can land in the same window without anyone connecting them. The spreadsheet shows a balance, not the week the two collide and push funding need to its peak.
Cash projections, scheduled outflows, and facility headroom move week to week. A borrowing plan rebuilt once a quarter is stale the moment it is shared, and the chance to draw later and smaller has usually passed.
How eyko Solves It
A Borrowing Requirement Forecasting Playbook connects to your ERP, cash projection, and facility data, projects peak funding need week by week on a regular beat, and shows the optimal draw timing and size against committed headroom with the drivers behind the peak attached.
The projection shows a 5.5M peak funding need in week 8, lasting roughly three weeks. Current undrawn committed facility is 12M, so the need is coverable, but the optimal draw is later and smaller than a static plan assumes.

Borrowing requirement forecasting projects peak funding need week by week across the near term. The Playbook reads the cash projection, scheduled outflows, and committed facility headroom, then marks the week the position reaches its funding peak and sizes it against available headroom, so treasury sees when and how much to draw while there is still time to draw later and smaller.
This is decision intelligence in practice: the what, the why, and the what next from your live data.

Everything you need to know about Borrowing Requirement Forecasting.
Borrowing requirement forecasting projects peak funding need week by week across the near term. eyko reads the cash projection, scheduled outflows, and committed facility headroom, then shows the week the position reaches its funding peak, the size of the need, and the optimal draw timing, so treasury can borrow later and smaller before the window closes.
A spreadsheet plan is built once and assumes the peak lands earlier and larger than it usually does, so the draw goes out too soon. The Playbook refreshes on a regular beat, attributes the peak to specific drivers like a seasonal inventory build and scheduled debt service, and recommends the draw timing and size that clears the peak for the least interest.
It reads from your ERP general ledger, cash projection, and facility data, alongside any data platform you already run. There is no separate data project to start, and it works with systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday.
Once connected, the Playbook returns peak funding need by week and the drivers behind it on its next beat, in minutes rather than the days a manual build usually takes, then refreshes as the projection and outflows change so the plan stays current.
