customising forecasting

I am new to forecasting but it seems to work based on the total amount of a contract, so if next month there is a 3 month contract starting for £300 it would report a forecast value of £300 for next month. However what we want to add is the value per month forecasting as well so the VPM forecast for next month would be £100 (£300/3 months). 

 

Is there any way to do this within the existing forecasting system? I don't think there is. 

 

The options as I see it would be to 

 

1. Create custom reports - however I am not sure they are flexible enough to re-create the forecasting functionality

2. Re-create the forecasting functionality from scratch using Apex and Visualforce

3. Find something on the AppExchange - anyone any ideas on a suitable product. 

 

Any ideas appreciated.
