INTEGRATION · POWEROFFICE GO

The purchase order system for PowerOffice Go – with real-time cost control.

CostTracker connects to PowerOffice Go and gives you purchase orders, approvals and a budget for every project. You see the cost the moment a purchase is approved – not weeks or months later when the invoice arrives.

Free integration · No credit card · Set up in an afternoon

CostTracker project budget: NOK 2,730,000 committed of NOK 4,200,000, split into invoiced, committed, planned and remaining, with suppliers and projects synced from PowerOffice Go
THE PROBLEM

PowerOffice Go shows what you have spent. CostTracker shows what you are about to spend.

Your accounts see a cost only when the supplier invoice is posted. On a project that is often too late, because the money was committed the day someone placed the order. CostTracker captures the cost at the point of purchase, so project managers and finance see the same numbers while there is still time to act.

Timeline of a purchase: the cost is visible in CostTracker when the purchase order is approved, but only in the accounts once the invoice is booked
