Feature description
Turn contractor billing from a trust-based system into a data-verified process. Analytics-based reconciliation compares billed hours to productive hours worked without requiring contractors to change their billing workflows or adopt new time tracking systems.
Key capabilities
- Team-level analysis: Break down excess billing by team to identify problem areas and accountability
- Financial impact calculator: Automatic calculation of dollar impact and annualized costs to build business cases for action
- Utilization analysis: View unrealized capacity by fulfillment rate bands to optimize contractor allocation and spending
- Trend visualization: Monthly trending of excess costs and user percentages to monitor improvement and seasonality
- Export capabilities: Export data for further analysis, dispute documentation, and vendor negotiations
Use cases
Organizations with significant contractor spend (100+ contractors, $5M+ annual spend) can identify and recover up to 30% in excess costs due to contractor overbilling and billing errors. Finance and operations leaders gain visibility into billing accuracy while automating manual validation processes that typically take days to complete.
