The popular and successful Sage WinForecast is flexible forecasting software that has been ‘End of Life’ by Sage since 1998. For the last seventeen years there has been no development, and support for those businesses still using the product finally ceased in 2014.
In its place and to address the market’s overwhelming need for an effective budgeting and forecasting tool, Navigator Software of New Zealand built Forecast 5.
After many years in development, Forecast 5 now comes to you as the fastest, most accurate and most powerful budgeting and forecasting solution.
