Forecast your next quarter on cash your bank already confirmed.

How forecasting works here
The journey of one dollar, from order to commitment.
Six stations, six dates. The line narrows every time money leaves, so the distance between what a platform claims and what you can actually commit is something you can see rather than take on trust.

Why nothing else can do this
Everything else forecasts the sale. Truence forecasts the deposit.
Spreadsheets project what you type. Planning tools extrapolate the ledger. Truence learns how long your money actually takes to clear, removes everything that never becomes cash, and publishes the band and the confidence beside every number it gives you.
Built for your stage
The same confirmed forecast, at every size.
One store or five entities — Truence reads what settled and publishes one arriving-cash figure with the confidence on it.
Seven figures
One store, one bank.
Connect Shopify, Stripe and your bank and the first arriving-cash band publishes the same day, with eighteen months of settled history behind it.
Seven into eight
Marketplaces, wholesale and agents.
Every channel settles on a different rhythm. Truence learns each one and folds them into a single arriving-cash figure with one confidence score.
Nine and beyond
Several entities, several currencies.
Entity-level floors, multi-currency deposits, and one runway figure your board, your lender and your finance team all read the same way.
No forecasting project and no spreadsheet migration. Connect the stores and accounts you already run and Truence reads eighteen months of settled cash back the same day.

Every band restated the moment new money clears
Truence partners with Plaid and AWS, so the connection is permissioned and the data is protected from the first minute.
Your bank connection is permissioned and read-only
Truence connects through Plaid, the same infrastructure your bank already trusts. You grant the permission, you can revoke it in one click, and Truence can only read. It never moves money and never writes to your accounts.
Your data is protected on AWS
Everything Truence reads is encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS, isolated per business, with access logged. A DPA and a security review are available whenever you want them.
Your stores and processors stay exactly as they are
Truence reads Shopify, Amazon and Stripe through their official APIs. Nothing changes in how you sell, how you get paid, or how your accounting is set up.
What it unlocks
Buy deeper, hire earlier, scale with the floor intact.
When the cash arriving is confirmed and the floor is named, planning stops being a debate about assumptions. You commit to inventory a week early, sign the longer supplier term, and take the growth you were holding back from — with a number your bank already stands behind.
