The management dashboard in the Premier Edition of Business Plan Pro gives you a quick visual overview of how your plan is living up to real-world results. To get the most from the dashboard, enter or import your actual data for sales, cost of sales, expenses, and milestones. The software will automatically compare your current results to your plan and highlight any variances.

Plan vs. actual charts
The plan vs. actual feature in the Premier Edition adds 12 more charts to help you visually track your actual numbers and your variance analysis. Quickly analyze where your real results vary from your original plan.
The Actual and Variance charts draw their data from the corresponding Actual and Variance tables.

Profit and loss: plan vs. actual
Are you meeting your goals and keeping expenses under control?

Users with the Premier version have an additional tracking tool in the Profit and Loss table for plan vs. actual comparison.
Understand how your actual sales compare with what you thought your sales would be. The Profit and Loss Plan vs. Actual feature lets you quantify the areas where you are succeeding, and identify parts of the business that may need more attention.

Sales forecast: plan vs. actual
