How the score works

What matters for mid-sized companies

  1. Departmental approvals

    Spend sits with many managers, so approvals need rules by amount and cost center.

  2. Engagement-level classification records

    Long engagements and repeat renewals attract scrutiny.

  3. Reporting by cost center

    Finance needs contractor spend separate from payroll.

  4. Integration with procurement or ERP

    Manual reconciliation does not scale.
