How VFX R' Us is Scenario Planning for the Writer's Strike
The Writer’s Strike is having an immediate impact on VFX studios - large and small.
With production start dates pushing and uncertain awards, companies have to make some tough decisions.
In this fictional case study, we showcase how a VFX studio plans for various episodic scenarios and the impact on cash flow and staffing.
Layoffs. When the economy shifts, leadership needs to be prepared and informed.
When is just as important as what. In this example use case, we track a fictional company that is grappling with a potential downturn in work and help them prepare for multiple staffing and cash flow plans.
Connect the dots. Ask your "what ifs". Take the weekend off.
Post production moves quickly. Awards and schedules change daily. Models need to be dynamic, interactive and provide up-to-the minute scenarios across offices, departments and the globe.
Connect to Your External Data
Link your whatifi account to any of the standard Accounting packages, connect to Shotgrid or import bids from Excel. We're adding more integrations so you can spend your time building plans instead of chasing numbers.
Map Out Multiple Outcomes
We've pre-built dozens of calculation Events. Select a template or use our flowchart-like Scenario Canvas to quickly map out your "what if" scenarios. Any upstream changes instantly flow through the affected Threads, updating calculations, KPIs and forecasts.
Calculate, Compare and Share the Results
