Case Study: Euro Hostels achieves real-time, reliable cash flow forecasting with Futrli

UK chain Euro Hostel stay ahead in industry with Futrli forecasting

Euro Hostels, a UK hostel chain operating in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Newcastle led by Managing Director William McClelland, faced intense competition from Airbnb and HomeAway and was struggling with error-prone Excel spreadsheets, disconnected site figures and unclear reports for the board. To scale confidently and present trusted forecasts, Euro Hostels adopted Futrli’s cash flow forecasting (integrated with Xero) to replace manual spreadsheets and gain seamless, real-time financial visibility.

Futrli pulled live data from Xero to produce reliable cash‑flow forecasts, eliminate spreadsheet formula errors and predict busy and quiet periods so the team could proactively fill rooms. The result: cleaner, board-ready reporting, time saved weekly through automatic updates, trusted multi-site projections accessible from any device, and faster, data-driven decisions — all delivered by Futrli.
