Now that our supervisors actually see their financials on a daily basis and know how much money they have available to spend, they’re tightening their belts and taking cost control very seriously. As a result, we’ve cut the variance between our operating expenditures and revenues in half. Thanks to this declining variance, we’re able to expend our property tax levy income for much-needed capital improvements, as opposed to spending it on operations.

Procurement, spend and budget management software FAQs

Business spend management software makes it easy to streamline liquidity monitoring processes and ensures that each department’s spending keeps on track with the approved budget. This software generates insights into company spending across all units by automatically collecting and analyzing cash outflow data. This allows staff to manage accounts proactively and decide whether to continue as is or adjust spending.

Budget planning, and keeping spending within the plan, is an extremely important part of running a healthy business, no matter how big your company is or which industry it serves. Budget tracking software provides control and transparency over cash movements, preventing the company from incurring unplanned interest costs and ensuring that funds are not diverted from the agreed investment plans.

Expense management solutions, also known as Time and Expense Management software, guide the way a business approves, registers, tracks, reimburses, and audits expenses made by its employees, in accordance with company policies. A spend management platform addresses a broader issue and refers to the system for controlling additional expenditures including Purchasing, AP, and GL.

Cloud, or SaaS spend management software, is financial planning and monitoring software hosted in a data center and accessible to end-users via an internet connection. The SaaS option relieves end-users of the burden of drawing on their own computing resources to run the software and carry out updates. However, the main advantage is that all members of distributed teams can use exactly the same software, and cloud-based systems can easily scale as more users are added to the team.
