Budgets & Cost Centers
brandQ assigns every order to a budget or cost center. Spending limits, approvals above thresholds and reports give marketing and finance full cost control.
Cost Control for Decentralized Marketing
When branches and partners order materials themselves, budgets need to be visible. brandQ assigns budgets to organizational units, campaigns or users and shows the remaining amount in real time – before the order is placed.
Rules for Spending
Orders above a defined value or beyond the remaining budget trigger an approval step. Marketing allowances for dealers or franchise partners can be managed as co-funded budgets with a defined share.
Transparent Reporting
Reports show what was ordered, by whom, at what cost and from which budget. Finance receives the data for internal cost allocation directly from brandQ or via interface to the ERP system.
