The capital budget stops being a folder of spreadsheets finance reconciles by hand
Capital requests reach finance as spreadsheets and email, each business unit on its own template, each with its own returns math, and finance keys them into the capital budget and re-checks the numbers by hand. We put each request in one live record from concept to disposal, with IRR, NPV, payback, and ROI computed on every read, so finance consolidates from records instead of reconciling attachments.
Every request arrives in a different spreadsheet, and finance re-keys them all into the budget
Capital budgeting runs on spreadsheets and email. Each request comes in on whatever template the business unit built, with its own returns math, its own assumptions, and its own version history. Finance keys them into the capital budget, re-checks the IRR and payback the requester computed, and reconciles what got approved against what got spent, all by hand.
An approval that times out while an approver is away restarts from the top. Finding the current version of a request means knowing who last touched the file.
One request becomes one live record, and finance reads the returns instead of rebuilding them
We make one capital request a single record, from concept to disposal. The request, its approval, the PO, the asset, and its depreciation all read from the same place, so no stage re-keys the last and the budget consolidates from records rather than a folder of attachments.
IRR, NPV, payback, and ROI compute on every read against one set of assumptions finance controls, not the math each requester built into their own sheet. Budget against actual is a read, not a quarter-end reconciliation. An approval that times out escalates instead of starting over, so a request keeps moving when an approver is away.
The AI cites every number, and finance stays on the decision
Role-scoped AI tools sit on the record. Each one proposes, cites the records behind every number, and never writes on its own, so finance signs off on a returns figure it can trace to the assumption under it. The re-keying and the version hunt are gone.
