An aging report tells you what is owed, not what will arrive. Cash Collection Forecasting predicts incoming receipts by week from real payment behavior, with the accounts behind the number.
The Challenge
Due dates assume everyone pays on time; the accounts that matter rarely do.
Each customer has a payment rhythm, but a static forecast treats them all the same.
Cash planning depends on what will actually arrive, and a forecast built on due dates overstates it.
How eyko Solves It
Cash Collection Forecasting predicts receipts by week from each customer's actual payment behavior rather than the due date, adjusts for the accounts trending late, and shows the accounts behind the forecast, so treasury plans on what will land, not what is owed.
Expected receipts are 12.4M over the next four weeks, 1.5M below the aging-based number, because six accounts are trending later than their terms. The shortfall concentrates in weeks two and three.

Cash collection forecasting predicts what will actually arrive by week from each customer's real payment behavior rather than the due date. The Playbook produces a receipts forecast and the gap to the aging-based number, so treasury sees the cash it can plan on instead of the cash the aging report assumes.
This is decision intelligence in practice: the what, the why, and the what next from your live data.

Everything you need to know about Cash Collection Forecasting.
Cash collection forecasting predicts incoming receipts by week from each customer's actual payment behavior rather than the due date. eyko adjusts for the accounts trending late and shows the accounts behind the forecast, so treasury plans on what will land, not what is owed.
An aging report shows what is owed and when it is due; it assumes everyone pays on time. The forecast reads each account's real payment behavior, adjusts for the ones trending late, and predicts what will actually arrive by week, with the gap to the aging number and the accounts driving it attached.
It reads your AR, invoice, and payment history from your ERP, alongside any data platform you already run, to learn each customer's payment rhythm. It works with systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday, and there is no separate data project to start.
It re-forecasts on every beat as payments land and behavior shifts, so the weekly receipts view stays current rather than going stale between manual updates. Treasury sees the latest expected receipts whenever they look.
