Commitment and actual spend on the same screen, before you overspend — not after.
Traditional budget control checks actuals against plan after the month closes — which means overspend gets discovered a month after it happened. TrackElan tracks committed spend the moment a purchase requisition or PO is raised, so "available budget" already reflects what is on order, not just what has been invoiced.
Cost center owners see commitment, actual, and variance in one pivot, and budget overrun rules can require approval before a PO releases, turning controlling from a reporting function into a real gate.
Catch overspend at the requisition stage, not at month-end close
Give every cost center owner a live budget-vs-commitment view without an Excel export
Route budget overruns for approval automatically instead of relying on someone noticing
Replace a standalone EPM/controlling tool — commitments come from the same documents as GL
