Xero has introduced Xero Analytics Plus, a set of planning and forecasting tools. The new application is included in Established/Premium plans in the United States and Canada.
The cloud accounting says Plus combines cashflow forecasting with advanced predictions and business reporting tools. Plus utilizes pattern-matching and predictive algorithms to detect and predict regular cash expenses and income over the next week, month or quarter.
Xero also released Analytics, a tool free to Xero Business Edition subscribers. It combines short-term cash flow which visually project cash flow over 30 days and a business snapshot tool. The cash flow tool has the ability to view future scheduled invoices and bills, while the business snapshot report can be viewed on a cash or accrual basis.
