Capital Project Control Software

Effective expenditure management demands complete control of cash-flow, budgets and projects from start to finish. Real Asset Management’s (RAM) project cost control system ensures commitments and expenditures are recorded against budgets for both capital and expense projects.

Features

• Prepared budgets can be split across multiple projects and further divided into categories and sub-categories
• Values are updated automatically when transactions such as orders, invoices and credit notes are processed, ensuring that financial information is consistent and current
• Project costs can be accumulated as multiple Construction-in-Progress (CIP) assets which can be transferred to the asset register on strategic capitalisation dates
• Expenditure can be assigned to individual assets or split across a number of assets by percentage or weighting
• Email, instant messaging or text alerts can be configured to notify budget and project managers when spend limits are within user-determined ranges
• Integrated document management to log items such as ROI forms, project plans, orders and invoices. Documents can be held in various formats
