THE PROBLEM

By the time the invoice arrives, the budget's already gone.

On project work, costs commit the moment a PO is approved. But most systems only show them when the invoice lands — weeks later.

By then it's too late to act. The budget's blown. The cash flow's off. The conversation with the client is uncomfortable.

WHY COSTTRACKER

Made for project-based businesses.

Built around how project teams actually work — budgets per project, POs against budgets, milestones across time. Not another generic procurement tool that treats every purchase like a stationery order.

  • Budget structure that maps to projects, not GL codes
  • Approvals routed by budget owner, not org chart
  • Milestones and phased delivery, in the cash flow forecast
REAL-TIME COST CONTROL

Every cost visible — the moment it's approved.

See every cost commitment as it's approved. Catch overruns before they happen, not after invoices arrive. Approve within limits, escalate over them. Every step traceable.

  • Every committed cost visible the moment a PO is approved
  • Strict mode blocks over-budget requests at approval
  • Sequential multi-approval — no steps skipped
CASH FLOW FORECAST YOU CAN TRUST

Cash flow from approved commitments — not guesswork.

Forecast from approved commitments and milestones — not reviewed numbers from last month's spend. Know when money leaves, before it leaves.

  • Weekly or monthly view, real approved commitments only
  • Milestone payments mapped to expected dates
  • Peak week highlighted — spot the pressure
EFFICIENT WORKFLOW

One workflow, one dataset — requisition to accounting.

Every step visible and logged. Every commitment recorded. Then handed off clean.
