Budgets & Commitments

Construction budget software with live commitments and forecast final cost

Budget tracked against commitments, actuals and forecast final cost. The moment a variation is approved or an invoice arrives, CTC updates. CFOs stop waiting for month-end.

Original Budget locked

Champion locks Original Budget at project start. Revisions run in Revised Budget.

Red when over budget

Cost codes turn red the moment they exceed Original Budget. Green when tracking.

Line-item drilldown

Double-click Committed or Actual to see every PO, invoice and payment contributing.

THE PROBLEM

An enterprise construction project typically finishes 4-8% over budget. Half of that is variance that could have been caught earlier.

When budget lives in a spreadsheet and commitments live in the ERP and actuals live in Xero, variance is only visible at month-end, if the reconciliation lines up. By then, the trade is done, the money is spent, and correcting course is expensive.

Plexa runs budget, commitments and actuals against the same live ledger. Variance shows up the moment it happens.

Portfolio-level budget vs actual across every project

One dashboard. Every active project. Which projects are on budget, which are drifting, which need attention this week. The CFO’s Monday morning view.
