AFE Automation

The smarter way to automate AFE processes

Approving requests for expenditure (AFE).

Managing the process of approving new and existing Authorisation for Expenditure (AFE) requests, our AFE process creates the budget ready to spend against whilst delivering full cost control transparency.

AFE Automation for the Energy sector

Streamline the AFE process

AFE Automation streamlines the complete AFE process, from initial request for approval, through to budget creation, tracking, reporting and project close-out activities.

As a result of implementing AFE Automation, our clients benefit from full cost transparency, spend to date against budget, and available budget across different cost headings and project phases.

Full budget control

Supporting unlimited AFE types, our AFE Automation solution delivers full spend against budget by accounting for every associated cost, tangible or intangible – increasing the accuracy of AFE estimates.

By recording expenditure against both AFE and corporate budgets, using cost categories, currency and project phases, users can create their own user-defined reports that easily identify early trends and potential project overspend.
