Know what is committed before you approve it.
In construction, approving an invoice after the work is done is too late to protect your margin. Built Enterprise tracks baseline budgets against live commitments and purchase orders in real time.
Before Built Enterprise: Financial Blindness
- ✕PMs issuing purchase orders and agreeing to variation claims without checking live budget balances.
- ✕Finance discovering cost overruns only after supplier invoices arrive 60 days later.
- ✕Subcontractors submitting duplicate invoices for previously paid milestone scopes.
- ✕Managing multi-crore cash flow through fragile, out-of-sync Excel sheets.
