Features
Five outcomes. One platform. Sentinel reads your Shopify and Xero, builds a live economic model of your brand, and turns it into the decisions you would make if you had a CFO and a controller on the team.
A weekly cash forecast that updates with every PO, payroll run and tax obligation. Stop running the business on a bank balance.
Get startedWeekly 12-week forecast
A rolling cash forecast that updates as POs, payroll and accruals change. Buffer days surfaced in plain English.
PO-aware cash timeline
Every PO models its deposit, production and balance payments. See the cash hit before you commit.
GST + provisional tax calendar
Tax obligations slotted into the timeline so they never blindside you. ANZ-aware, multi-entity ready.
Working capital engine
Cash conversion cycle, receivables and payables modelled as policies you can flex, not numbers you back into.
FIFO costing, stockout probability and overstock cost on every SKU. Inventory decisions backed by the numbers, not the gut.
SKU-level unit economics
Landed cost — freight, duties, FX, fulfilment, returns — per SKU. The real margin on every product, not a blended average.
FIFO inventory costing
Inventory valued FIFO, automatically. COGS reverses cleanly on returns. Your balance sheet reflects reality.
Stockout + overstock modelling
Probability of stockout per SKU, quantified cost of overstock. The trade-off is no longer a feeling.
Ordering plans + POs
Sentinel drafts purchase orders sized to cash and demand. Approve, edit, or override — Sentinel writes the supplier email and the Xero bill.
Margin attributed properly — by product, channel, market and customer cohort. The hidden cost of returns, freight and discounts sits where you can act on it.
Product × channel × market margin
Revenue and cost attributed across all three dimensions. Find the channel that quietly funds the brand and the one that quietly loses money.
COGS allocation that holds up
Multiple methods — proportional revenue, units, direct product group, manual split — chosen per cost. Reconciled to Xero, every period.
Returns + refund cost
Returns reduce COGS, refunds reduce revenue, restocking and shipping land where they belong. Net margin tells the truth.
Three-statement reconciliation
P&L, balance sheet and cash flow tie out. If they do not, the reconciliation log tells you exactly why.
Deterministic 12-month projections you can stress-test in seconds. A scenario engine designed for delta-based "what if" thinking, not version sprawl.
12-month deterministic forecast
Top-down dials for growth, mix and price. Bottom-up overrides where you have conviction. Both reconcile to the same number.
Scenario engine
Delta-based scenarios — only the things you change get stored. Inherit-and-override resolver makes "what if revenue drops 10% in Q3" a one-click question.
Seasonality profiles
SS / AW, Christmas peaks, custom curves. Seasonality modelled per product group, not averaged across the year.
Back-solve + back-cast
Set a cash target and let Sentinel back-solve the operating plan. Re-run the past with new assumptions to validate the model.
The Monday read every founder wishes they had. Sentinel reads your numbers, finds the risks, drafts the actions, and lands it in your inbox at 8am.
Weekly AI briefing
Every Monday, an AI-written brief tailored to your business. Risks, recommendations, drafted actions — all linked back to the source data.
Drafted actions, ready to approve
Sentinel does not just surface problems. It writes the supplier email, drafts the PO, and prepares the Xero bill — you approve in one click.
Live three-statement model
P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — always up to date. Drill down from any line item to the underlying transactions.
Versioning + audit trail
Model versions: draft, current, archived. Every change reconciled and logged. Restore a prior version with a single click.
