What you get

Everything in one place

Real-time cost tracking

Costs and commitments updated as purchase orders are raised, not reconciled weeks later.

Live cost value reconciliation

Budget, committed and actual spend side by side on every project.

Purchase orders in context

Every PO tracked against the project and budget it belongs to.

Overruns spotted early

Margin turns red and the forecast moves as soon as a package goes over, while there's still time to act.

Cost linked to delivery

Spend sits alongside the work, so commercial control and site progress move together.

Role-based access

Permissions by role, so commercial detail stays with the right people.

In real time

Track construction costs as they happen

Construction cost tracking software keeps budget, committed and actual spend side by side on every project, updated in real time as purchase orders are raised, so overruns are caught early rather than discovered at month end.

See exactly which orders make up each cost

Every purchase order line is linked to a CVR package, so each package shows the orders behind its committed cost, what has been invoiced and what is still to come. Construction project controls, without rebuilding a spreadsheet every month.
